My Chocolate Maker

My Chocolate Maker is tucked away in D 303 at Undeja Gundepha Garden. We are right near Ganesh Talkies in the Lal Bagh area of Mumbai. It’s a lively neighborhood, especially during the festival seasons when the streets are packed. Our place smells like cocoa and sugar most of the time, which isn't a bad way to spend a workday. We aren't a big factory or a fancy boutique; it’s more of a home-style setup where we actually make the chocolates from scratch. There are bowls, thermometers, and cooling trays everywhere you look. It’s a bit messy when we’re in the middle of a big batch, but that’s just how it goes when you’re working with melted chocolate. We spend a lot of time experimenting with different flavors and making sure the texture is just right. It’s just a few of us here, and we do everything by hand. People from around Lal Bagh know where we are, and they often drop by when they need a gift or just a small treat for themselves. Being near the old Ganesh Talkies makes it very easy to give directions to anyone coming from further away. It’s a small operation, and we don’t have a big marketing budget or any fancy packaging. We just focus on the recipes and getting the temper right on the chocolate. It’s a lot of washing up and heavy lifting with the ingredients, but we enjoy the process of making something people like.
