Artisanal Brass Handi (Biryani Vessel)

$180.00

The Handi, a traditional slow-cooking pot-shaped utensil, has always been a witness to flavors and aromas that modern cookware cannot compete with. The Handi has been a prerequisite in any old-fashioned kitchen, whether in biryani, khichdi, pulao, or gravies.

Our Family journey to preserve India’s artisanal heritage took us to a village near Amritsar, where the thatheras, masters in brass and copper utensils making, live. From a community of 200 that once- or so they say- practiced this craft, now only 20 carry it forward; perhaps this is the reason it proudly find a mention in the UNESCO Intangible Cultural Heritage list.

Brass cookware like the Handi is a perfect mix of tradition and health. It retains over 90% of nutrients, keeps meals hot for hours, and preserves the natural antioxidants of the ingredients, making each meal as flavorful as wholesome.

Bring craft and health into your kitchen, courtesy of the living tradition embodied in a handmade Brass Handi.
