Shaheb Paneer Bhandar

Shaheb Paneer Bhandar is right in the middle of Brij Mohan Market in Chawri Bazar. Our address is 3593/94/19, which is easy to find if you know the market well. We start very early in the morning when most people are still asleep because the milk and paneer have to be ready before the rush starts. It’s a damp and cool environment because of all the refrigeration and water we use to keep things clean. There are always big containers being moved around and the smell of fresh dairy in the air. We don't have a fancy storefront or a place for people to sit down. It is a busy stall where people come to get what they need for their kitchens or restaurants. The floor is usually a bit wet, and we are always wearing boots. Dealing with paneer is a lot of heavy lifting and making sure the temperature is just right. Chawri Bazar is a crazy place during the day, so we try to get most of our big work done before the streets get blocked with rickshaws. We are just a local shop doing what we’ve done for years. It isn't glamorous, and our hands are always cold, but it’s a living. We know the other shopkeepers around Brij Mohan Market and we all just look out for each other. It’s a hard way to earn a buck, but it is what we know.
