Where do people buy food in india?

Question

I'm in food tech tomorrow at school and for this homework (I'm doing india) I need to know where people in india buy food. Like off markets etc but I don't know. I couldn't find an answer on the internet that was clear. Thank you if you can help

Answer 1

There are markets(indoor/outdoor/) called sabzi mandis. There are also in bigger cities, grocery stores just like in the US.

Answer 2

Indian stores.

Answer 3

We have large open markets (like farmer's markets) where people buy fresh produce daily.

One of India's most famous markets is Crawford Market in Mumbai:

Crawford Market—now officially known as Mahatma Jyotiba Phule Market—is a gigantic bazaar dealing in just about every kind of fresh food and domestic animal imaginable. Shopkeepers perch vertiginously atop piles of fruit and vegetables; they'll nimbly navigate these towering displays to fetch and weigh your chosen items. Keep an eye out, too, for the wholesale buyers and the cryptic handshakes that confirm their deals. Above the main entrance, you'll see a bas-relief frieze designed by Rudyard Kipling's father. The market operates Monday through Saturday, 11:30 a.m. to 8 p.m. (Lokmanya Tilak Marg and Dr. Dadabhai Naoroji Rd.).

Answer 4

in laris they r like outdooe market places w. wheels and they travel places

Answer 5

Vegetables and fruits are available in Vegetable market.

Dairy products such as milk, dahi( yogurt) available in dairy stores.

Food grains such as rice, wheat are available in grocery shops where all other grocery is available.  Indian people prefer to buy food grain. The grains are then grinded in the mills which are located at almost every corner. The millman grinds the grains as per requirement fine or coarse.

Bakery products are available in baker's shop. The eggs are also sold at these shops.

Readymade food is also available. If you go to any restaurant, they offer you packed food which is ready to eat.  

Main food of South Indian people is rice and curry while that of North India it is Roti or chapati or paratha with some vegetable.  Roti or chapati or paratha are made from wheat flour.

Sometimes people prefer to get evening snacks from these restaurants.

Now-a-days in big cities malls are there from which Indian people can buy almost any type of food. But it is generally preferred by rich people as it is costly.

Answer 6

In India, groceries and most food products are, by and large sold in pop and mom type stores.  Almost all are privately established and some of these are temporary in nature.  It may even be goods sold on a bicycle or an open cart.  Most grocers are located close to residences and deliver food home.  In some cases, it may just be a block away from where you live.  There are some wholesale establishments/markets that do sell bulk groceries.  In most cases, you end up getting fresh produce as vegetables are stocked up on a daily basis.

The biggest hassle in grocery shopping in India is haggling.  Prices in most of these shops are not fixed and are decided on the fly based on the customer in question, which really annoys me since I always end up getting a raw deal.  Plus, you do not get to choose what you want.

As far as prepared food goes, they are available in local restaurants or in the frozen section of some of the more modern grocers.

There is no Indian equivalent of Kroger/Dominicks/Piggly-Wiggly/Meijers etc.  However, recently, there are a few chains that are trying to implement these concepts.  Here are a few links:
