Vijay Shrikhand Samrat

Vijay Shrikhand Samrat is a place where we make and sell shrikhand, located in Dandia Bazar at the Allied Industrial Estate. We spend most of our time dealing with dairy products. The process of making shrikhand takes a lot of patience because you have to wait for the yogurt to drain properly. We have large muslin cloths hanging in the back to get the consistency just right. Once it is thick enough, we mix in the sugar and the flavors like cardamom or saffron. The Allied Industrial Estate can be a bit dusty so we keep the shop doors closed most of the time to keep the interior clean. We have big refrigerators where we store the finished product in plastic tubs of different sizes. People from Dandia Bazar know us well and often come by in the evenings to pick up something for their dinner. The shop is small and has a simple counter where we handle the cash and the orders. We don't have any fancy signs or lights. It’s mostly about the work we do in the back kitchen. We start early in the morning when the milk is delivered. By the time the sun is up, we are already busy with the first batch. We keep a close eye on the temperature to make sure everything stays fresh and tastes the way it should. We have been doing this for a long time now and have gotten used to the daily routine of handling milk.
