The first two great business ideas are making snacks and spice powders or pickles. People always want snacks like murukku, adhirasam, and seedai, not just for festivals but for daily munching too. Similarly, masala powders like idli podi, sambar podi, and rasam podi, and pickles like mango and lemon are always a hit. You only need basic equipment like a good mixer, a kadai, and ingredients like rice flour, lentils, and spices. Anyone with traditional cooking skills can easily start this business. On average, a family might need about 2-3 kg of these powders every month.
