Shankar Lal Mawa Wale & Caterers Private Limited

Our business, Shankar Lal Mawa Wale & Caterers Private Limited, is based in Ashawala, over in the Bagru area of Sanganer. We’ve been doing this for a long time. Mawa is a big part of what we do, and the catering side keeps us on our toes. In Bagru, everyone knows about the local traditions and we try to stick to that. We have a kitchen setup where we prepare things for events and parties. It gets really hot in there, especially when the big stoves are going. Sanganer is a busy place, but Ashawala is where we call home. We don’t have a fancy website or a marketing team. We just rely on people talking to each other. If someone likes the food at a wedding, they ask for our name. That’s how we’ve always grown. The staff is like family, some have been with us for years. We spend hours stirring the milk to get the mawa just right. It takes patience and you can’t rush it. Sometimes things get hectic when there are three weddings in one weekend, but we manage to get through it. We use the address in Bagru for all our main prep work. It’s a practical space with plenty of room for our big pots and pans. We don't use any shortcuts. It’s just the way we were taught to do it and we don’t see any reason to change now. We keep things traditional and work hard every single day.
