Mayura is one of the oldest flour mills in the city, and among a handful still remaining in an area that once teemed with such businesses. Do people still get rice, wheat, and spices ground at these mills? The 64-year-old says that Bazaar Road alone had around 38 flour mills. “The bigger brands started selling masalas in packets and people preferred them to painstakingly getting spices ground,” explains Rajendran. “Getting packaged flour may work out cheaper.” Which means only those who are particular about the taste of mill ground flour, prefer them.
