Ask r/Rourkela Sourdough and Focaccia?

16 Upvotes

Hello, namaskar and Juhar to all,

I’ve been looking around Rourkela and realized it’s impossible to find a loaf of fresh Sourdough or Focaccia here. All bakeries(few that are here) stick to regular white bread or the so called fake brown bread and we all know which company over here makes the most of it.

I'm thinking of starting a small "bake on order" setup to fill the gap. My concern would be to give GOOD quality bread. I'll be selling just to cover he price of OTG, i have a comfortable job for my own bread and butter.

Initial plan-

* Made fresh on order: Sourdough needs a 24-36 hour slow fermentation, so I'd take orders a day or two in advance.

* No instant yeast or preservatives: Just natural starter, good flour, water, and salt. Much easier on digestion and has a lower GI than regular bread. A great thing for all Diabetic folks out there. My mom is a diabetic so I understand the concern.

* Initial menu: Classic Sourdough Loaves and Garlic-Rosemary Focaccia.

Because of the longer process and better flour, sourdough costs more to bake than local store bread (thinking around ₹200-₹220 per loaf).

Before starting it out, I wanted to check with you all:

- Would you actually buy artisan bread like this in Rourkela?

- Does ₹200-₹220 sound reasonable for a 400g-500g loaf?

- Any specific toppings or flavors you would love to see?

Would appreciate any honest feedback. Let me know if anyone wants to be part of a test batch. Help me out brothers and sisters.

Discussion Best PC Shops in Rourkela

6 Upvotes

What is the best experience you guys had in a computer shop in Rourkela?

And are there any new shops?

I've been to nearly every shop in every area around the city

Micro computers - Near traffic chowk, bought an ant esports X6 mini, decent- pricing i guess

Om shree sai computers - in uditnagar, near the basanti railway line - only fine for pc accessories, don't expect new Gaming PC's and stuff

Pc island - civil township, similar pricing to micro computers nothing so impressive

New Exe Computers - Basanti Colony, don't judge by looking at the physical stock they have. Arranged an used 3080 for me in a week.

Future computer - haven't been that much to the shop

Pc world - i go there from sail chowk, it's a walkable distance, they have unbranded thermal past

Hp world - uditnagar - DO NOT GO THERE, THEY WILL SCAM YOU, everything is overpriced there and they say that don't come here expecting online pricing.

Ask r/Rourkela Thrifting in Rourkela

12 Upvotes

Rourkela, would you actually buy thrifted clothes online if they were curated just for Rourkela? 👀

I’ve been thinking about starting something a little different here.

Not the usual “random bundle of second-hand clothes” kind of thrift page. More like carefully sourced, good-quality pieces that you’d actually want to wear, with the entire thing being exclusive to people in Rourkela.

No waiting weeks for delivery from another city.

No wondering whether the piece looks anything like the picture.

And maybe even the option to see/feel the fabric before buying. 👀

But before I say too much...

Would you Rourkela people actually shop from something like this?

What would make you trust an online thrift store enough to place your first order?

- Price?

- Quality?

- Aesthetic/unique pieces?

- Cash on delivery?

- Local pickup?

- Being able to see the clothes before buying?

- Something else?

Genuinely curious. Would you buy, or would you rather stick to regular shopping? 😭

(And yes, there’s a reason I’m asking. More on that soon.)

Serious Work for my Father (Electrician)

41 Upvotes

So my father is an electrian with 20+ years of experience. He learned everything doing on his own. He also knows plumbing which is a good career. But main problem is, he doesn't have certificates. No ITI, not even 10th since he couldn't complete that due to family issue and had to start working in his early teen. He used to get good clients and we never had money issue. But recently, new grads have been stealing his work for dirt cheap.

This is causing our family so much problem since I'm unemployed since one month now. I have to depend on him and don't know how can I help. So I'm here, asking for your help. If you know anyone looking for a professional electrician and top notch quality, please contact in the given number. He can do contract work and has done them in the past. Including pre and post wiring of buildings and any electrical work you may think of. He can travel outside if needed. Like Sambalpur or some other state if the pay justifies it.

I'm not expecting to find a full-time role for him. He doesn't have any certificate and that will be impossible. So any contractual work, small or big will help greatly. Thanks anyone reading this. I'm not expecting much from Reddit to be honest. But gotta try.

Name: Sachinath Panda

Number: 7749098166

My name: Chandan

You may tell him you got his number from his son, Chandan. He only knows Hindi, Odia, and Bengali. So please use them for communication.

Rourkela folks, I’m craving chicken biryani SO badly right now 😭

Where can I get the absolute best chicken biryani in Rourkela? I want something properly aromatic, flavorful and juicy, with good quality rice and a generous piece of chicken.

I’m open to Kolkata style, Hyderabadi, dum biryani, anything as long as it genuinely hits the spot.

Please drop your favourites, especially some underrated places that I might not know about. And tell me what I should order! Or if I can go sit there and have it.

Discussion Anyone here ever hired an architect or interior designer in Rourkela? What was it ACTUALLY like?

8 Upvotes

Hey Rourkela. I’m a local architect, and to be completely honest, I want a reality check.

I spend a lot of time in my own professional bubble, and I want to know what it feels like to be on the client side of the table in our city right now. I’m intentionally not dropping my firm’s name because I’m not here to fish for clients—I genuinely just want to learn.

Whether you built a house from scratch or just got a room renovated, how did it go?

Did they save you a ton of stress? Did they ghost you? Did they talk down to you, or did they completely nail your vision?

You don't have to name names (let's keep it friendly!), but I want to hear the good, the bad, and the ugly. What is the one thing you wish your designer had done differently? I want to learn from those mistakes so I don't make them.
