On days when new baked goods are being prepared, the gentle hum of the oven wafts up from the first floor, creating a comforting backdrop to the rhythmic clinking of a metal ladle against the pan where flours are being toasted. As you ascend the stairs to the bakery, a warm aroma envelops you—rich notes of baked flour and ghee mingling in the air, inviting you closer. The skilled women behind the counter, with an intuitive understanding of my cravings, offer me a perfectly measured ball of ragi cookie dough. Resisting the urge to indulge in just three takes considerable effort. The same goes for the jowar and almond cookie dough, each bite offering a wholesome satisfying experience that’s hard to forget.
