“I set up my stall by 6:30 p.m everyday. All our regulars make a beeline to our place for their dinner or teatime healthy snack. The best combo for jowar roti is country chicken curry for non-vegetarians and onion curry for vegetarians.

Although I used to work as a daily wager at a construction site, I wasn’t really happy with my daily routine. I have seen many women starting their businesses and I felt why can’t I start something on my own? I know I have zero investment and there’s a risk involved. I thought about it for a few weeks and that’s how the idea of making traditional jowar rotis came into my mind.

Jowar roti is a staple diet of our ancestors for centuries and it’s a healthy meal. I felt if I could sell at least 20- 30 jowar rotis a day, it will be a profitable venture. I went ahead to start this business and to my surprise, my husband encouraged me wholeheartedly without a second thought.

Today, I sell around 70-80 rotis every day and that helps me to support our family.”
