I recently received an invitation that compelled me to drive 350 kilometres to visit the Adyar Ananda Bhavan Sweets & Snacks Factory in Ambattur, Chennai. A2B, as the group is popularly known, is now perhaps South India’s most recognised restaurant, sweets and snacks brand, with over 150 outlets across Tamil Nadu, Karnataka, and overseas, however its origins are rather humble and trace an agricultural family’s inspiring 60year journey through Rajapalyam, Bengaluru, Chennai and beyond. As I learnt from the second and third generation of the Adyar Ananda Bhavan family when I visited their facility that can produce over 40,000 kilos of savouries and 10,000 kilos of sweets evry single day!
What is heartening though is the family’s commitment to sourcing quality ingredients, even making their own ghee to ensure 100% purity, and fostering an environment where the skill and craft involved in making artisanal handmade sweets is also encouraged alongside automated production lines to meet the burgeoning demand for their sweets and savouries. I hope you enjoy the first part of this very special episode this Deepavali weekend.
Happy Diwali! Take care; stay safe and strong. Happy eating!
