Cook all your favourite sabjis, gravies, sweets, snacks etc in the hand hammered Brass Kadai from the Thathiars near Amritsar.

Our journey to rejuvenate crafts of India took us to a village near Amritsar. The thatheras near Amritsar are known for their traditional brass and copper craft of utensil making.
This craft has been included in the UNSECO list of Intangible Cultural Heritage. From 400 families who used to practice this craft, the number has dwindled to a meagre 15.
Cooking in Brass has been part of our culture since time immemorial. Brass is known to preserve the anti-oxidants of food cooked in them.
Brass also helps in preserving more than 90% of nutrition of food cooked in them.
Brass retains heat and keep food warm for a couple of hours.
