- Soft, fluffy, light Idlis is a dream breakfast for many South Indan homes where generally the softness is compared to the Jasmine flowers.
- Following the history of making the best and fluffy Idlis, we travelled to the interiors of Tamil Nadu in search of the most appropriate cookware for the same.
- Our research took us to the traditional brass Idli makers of rural Tamil Nadu, a hidden gem which took us three long years to find.
- This amazing cluster recrafts and infuses new lease of life into these old Idli Pathrams made using the best quality brass.
- Brass is the metal with critical weight to size ratio that builds the right amount of steam pressure to make mouth water idlis in exactly 10 minutes.
- The holes in the idli plates also enable steam to pass through the batter effectively thereby cooking it all the way through at shortest possible time.
- Idli plates and inside of the vessel is tin coated which would need refurbishing every couple of years depending on usage.
- Post Tin lining, the Idli pathram is repolished to get back the shine. This Process could involve some chemical treatment as well.

- Over centuries it has been observed that Idli was never made in any other traditional cookware other than those made of brass.
- The conical shape of the lid as well as the shape of the vessel accentuates the idli steaming process and cooks the idlis evenly.
- Brass as a metal has the appropriate weight to size ration for steaming and does not allow significant pressure to get build inside the cookware, thereby making the Idlis soft and fluffy.
- In olden days before the design of the complete brass vessel came into existence or as a hack, grand mothers would use very large cast iron kadai (Vanalis) as base and use the brass lid on top to steam idlis.
