Bahuchar Krupa Farshan Mart

Our little shop, Bahuchar Krupa Farshan Mart, is located right on Varachha Road near the Jodhpure Char Rasta in Satellite 309. If you know this part of the city, you know how busy it gets with all the shops and people rushing around. We spend most of our time in the back preparing the different types of farshan. There’s always the smell of hot oil and spices in the air, which stays with you even after you go home. We wake up while most people are still sleeping to get the first batches ready. It’s a lot of manual work, weighing out ingredients and packing things into bags. We don't use big machines for everything; it’s mostly just our hands doing the work. The counter stays busy throughout the afternoon with folks picking up snacks for their families or for work. We’ve been at this for a long time, so we’ve gotten used to the heat from the stoves and the constant chatter of customers. Sometimes we run out of certain items before the day ends, and we just have to tell people to come back tomorrow. We often spend our evenings cleaning the fryers and prepping the dough for the next morning so we aren't rushing too much. It’s a modest business, nothing too flashy or modern. We just focus on making the snacks the way we were taught. It’s honest work, and it keeps us busy from dawn until we pull the shutters down at night.
