Bhandari Masala Co.

We’ve been running Bhandari Masala Co. for a good while now. Our shop is right in the Main Market of Karawal Nagar, Dayalpur. If you know where the bus stand is, we are just a short walk from there. It gets pretty loud with all the traffic and people coming through for the buses, but we like the energy. Most days, we are busy just sorting through the different spices and making sure everything is packed up right. It’s a bit of a small space, but we make it work. The smell of the ground masalas usually fills the air before you even get to the door. Sometimes the dust from the street gets in, but that’s just how it is in this part of town. We mostly deal with the locals who come in while doing their daily shopping. Our family has been involved in this for years. We don't have a fancy website or anything like that, just this physical spot. We open up early, usually when the first buses start rolling in, and stay until the market starts to quiet down in the evening. It’s hard work, especially when it’s hot outside, but we enjoy being part of the community here in Dayalpur. You see the same faces every week and it feels right. It’s not a big corporate operation, just a few of us making sure the spices get out to the kitchens where they belong. We hope to stay here for a long time.
