My family has been doing this for a while here on Private Road. It started out pretty small, just a couple of us. Most people around Motijhil know where the kitchen is because you can smell the spices and the frying onions early in the morning. We don't have a big fancy office or a showroom with pictures on the walls. It's just a functional space near Dum Dum where we get the actual cooking done. Usually, it's pretty loud and busy in the mornings when we're chopping piles of vegetables and getting the big pots ready on the burners. We spend a lot of time making sure the rice is just right and the fish is as fresh as we can get it. If the stuff at the market doesn't look good, we just don't buy it. That's how we've always worked. Most of our days are spent standing on our feet. It's sweaty, hard work, especially during the summer, but we’re used to it by now. People come by to talk about their weddings or some small lunch they’re having at home. We just sit down with a plain notepad and figure out what they need. It’s not a complicated system. We write things down, we cook the food, and we bring it over. Sometimes the traffic near Dum Dum makes things really tricky, but we know the shortcuts by heart now. We’ve lived here long enough to know every turn. It's just a local business run by people who like to see a plate wiped clean.
