- “first-ever tiffin cakes in Calcutta were baked by Barua Bakery”
Barua bakery
Calcutta since 1928.
Founded by Manoranjan Barua, this bakery was originally located at Wellington Square, not far from the current premises. Manoranjan and his brothers, Abaniranjan, Priyadarshi and Priyabrata, worked hard to develop the bakery business, which was a relatively new kind of enterprise for Bengali entrepreneurs at that time. The company was registered in 1928 and the present location at Dharmatala Street began operations in 1932 from the erstwhile smaller production unit.
Barua Bakery started business by baking open-top bread in three sizes - quarter pound, half pound and full; in those days, there was no concept of sliced bread. The breads were bought not just by local consumers, but also by several hospitals in and around the city and by the military fraternity at Fort William and Barrackpore. Eventually, buns and burger breads joined the menu. And with time, sliced bread, sandwich bread, sweet buns, ring buns, twisted bread and many other fancy varieties were introduced.
The concept of including a block of cake in tiffin-boxes was quite a new idea at that time, but it soon became extremely popular. Barua Bakery patties too, were regularly savoured by office-goers at Dalhousie Square and other predominantly commercial areas, sold by individual salesmen who picked up huge quantities for sale. The patties were once particularly popular at the football ground during matches, in this football-crazy city, especially when the playing teams were the popular rivals Mohun Bagan and East Bengal.
Deepan and Sourav, two members of the current generation of Baruas, have an old cream-coloured slip. They explain that in the initial days of the bakery, the salesmen would directly place their orders with the manager on a requisition slip and make the payment directly to the accountant. The production was based solely on pre-orders - nothing extra. It was all done manually, but it all worked perfectly.
Barua Bakery still does not have any exclusive retail outlet or even distributors. The cycle-vans continue to carry the products straight from the ovens to the retailers and shops, for sale and door-to-door supply.

What I love most about your videos is the silent storytelling. It's shameful to see your videos managing only a couple of thousand views and nonsensical food vlogs grabbing millions of eyeballs. My roots are in Shyambazar, so I love the old world charm and everything heritage.
😊 thank you so much..keep supporting me..
Being a baking enthusiast, I thoroughly enjoyed this episode. Looking forward to you covering more old kolkata bakeries. Be it Saldanha's production unit or if you can really venture beyond, bapuji cake factory in howrah. Rather popular one like Nahoum's probably won't be gracious enough to allow filming of their production. See what you can do. Mullicks and imperial in new market is also interesting from heritage standpoint. Quality is not that great though.
Looking forward
Ur all contant, picture, and story telling is aswame. Plz go to more and more nostalgic place and also nostalgic personality like old doctors, writers, bureaucrats,and so many.. Bec they are the equally treasure for us.. Try it if it's possible..

পশ্চিম বাংলার রাজধানী কলকাতার ঐতিহ্যবাহী বড়ুয়া বেকারী নিয়ে বাংলায় ইউটিউব ভিডিও বানাচ্ছেন, আর সেই প্রতিষ্ঠানের কর্মীদের সঙ্গে হিন্দীতে কথা বলছেন! আর কতো জায়গা ছাড়বেন?

ঐতিহ্য মানে এই নয় যে পরিস্কার পরিচ্ছন্নতাও মান্ধাতার আমলের মতো হবে...ঝা চকচকে হতে হবে এমন কোনো কথা নেই.. কিন্তু রূচি সম্পন্ন ও পরিপাটি দরকার
@@TonolMurmu একদম সঠিক বলেছেন। ওদের বোঝানো অন্তত উচিত যে এখানে কাজ করছ অথচ বাংলা জানোনা এটা খুব খারাপ। তাহলে নেক্সট টাইম থেকে ওরাই বাংলা বলার চেষ্টা করবে।
হিন্দি কথা দিয়ে কনভারসেশন টা শুরু হয়েছে, বাংলাই চালিয়ে যেতে পারতেন, দেখুন ওরা কিন্তু ওদের ভাষা টাই বলছে, আপনি নিজের বাংলা তে হিন্দি বলতে বাধ্য হচ্ছেন
Very nostalgic about the brand, but really feel sorry that due to lack of advertisement and brand building exercises, other brands which entered later like BAPUJI has grown exponentially and left the older brands behind.

Wood oven is no more allowed because of pollution . So , I don't know how is he managing this ?
Diesel oven is almost mandatory for new bakery setup .
No idea about this
@@wolf_of_calcutta05 It is not your concern . Actually some years back I
tried to start bread manufacturing unit
then I was clearly told to obtain clearance from pollution controll & no
wood fired oven is allowed .
@@mch4735 no idea
The government wants restrictions on usage of timber in all areas to save the planet from mass deforestation. Felling of trees is a punishable offence now. Earlier days government used to auction timber for making of wooden items for various domestic uses, but now that has been restricted.
