Brass Idli Pathram (Natural , Antique Finish)

Original price was: ₹4,950.00.Current price is: ₹4,940.00.

  • 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.
  • This natural un-polished antique version is completely natural with no polish. Generally post the tin lining process, the copper metal shines out and its re-polished to get the brass shine.
  • This natural variation is for those who believe in looking for an antique finish to this traditional idli cooker!
  • 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.
