A passion for cooking and desire to showcase traditional Indian flavours to suit even the mildest of palates has led one woman to open an Indian grocery store.
Sejal Patel and her husband Jiten Shah recently moved to Toowoomba after falling in love with the area and opened Quick and Easy Indian Grocery Store and Tobacconists.
While the business owner never anticipated opening her own shop, her love for cooking and teaching others about traditional Indian flavours enticed her to give it a go.
“I owned a commercial cleaning company, and my clients kept telling me that they loved Indian food but they couldn’t eat too much spice,” Ms Patel said.
“My intention of opening this store is to offer many different options for people who want to eat Indian food but can’t because it is too spicy.”
Stocking all ingredients required to cook a tasty Indian dish, Ms Patel said she would also be selling Indian sweets, drinks, namkeens and gravy to pair with most meats and cottage cheese.
“I plan to also play cooking videos in-store and share some of my recipes with customers,” she said.
“Cooking is one of my favourite things to do, and I would love to share that with others.”
Trading hours are currently being assessed and may change, but the store at 337 Ruthven St is currently open seven days from 9.30am to 10pm.
