Bakery in Hyderabad’s upscale Banjara Hills. I am at one of
the two dozen outlets that the famous Karachi Bakery has across the city. For
visitors flying out from the shiny Hyderabad Airport, carrying back the yellow
box with the pink and blue logo and the quirky tagline ‘Hyderabad world famous’
is de rigueur. To a Hyderabadi, the buttery, crumbly square biscuits
with bits of fruit tastes especially like home.
In a bylane near the outlet in Moazzam Jahi Market is the
central bakery from where the goodies are made and dispatched across the city
and the country. Ramnani is sitting inside his office when we meet. Dozens of
varieties of bread, biscuits and cakes are being baked, packed and
inventoried.
We used to sell loose biscuits for ₹2
per kilo. Now it costs Rs 240per kilo.
A millet and almond cookie. “It is tailor-made for
health-conscious people. I didn’t study catering or baking. Whatever I know I
learnt from my grandfather and my family.” Plugging into the health rage was the next smart move: From
oatmeal atta to multi-grain, Karachi Bakery has it all.
