Chanderkar Sweets

Chanderkar Sweets is tucked away on Pandurang Budhkar Mg at the 1st Cross, right near Shampur Main Road in A-101. We’ve been at this spot for a while, and it’s become our second home. The shop isn't very big, so we have to be careful how we stack the boxes. Every morning starts with lighting the stoves and getting the milk boiling. It's hot work, and by the time the shop opens, we are already tired, but the day is just starting. We don't have any fancy decorations on the walls, just a few calendars and the shelves where we keep the sweets. The floor is tile and it’s a bit cracked in the corners, but we scrub it every night. We make what we can, and once a tray is empty, it stays empty until the next batch is ready. People from the surrounding apartments come in to grab something small after dinner. We don't have a big marketing plan or anything like that. We just focus on the cooking and making sure the scale is balanced right. Sometimes the traffic on Shampur Main Road makes it hard for people to park, so they just double-park and run in quickly. We try to be fast so they don't get in trouble. It’s just us here, working through the piles of sugar and flour every single day to keep things going.
