Two kadais, two generations, one kalai slip
Sent my mother’s 1979 kadai and the one I bought here in 2022 for re-tinning together. Both came back in eleven days, silver inside, with the weight before and after written on the slip.
New
Brass Handi with Lid
Narrow-necked pot for slow dal and biryani
A round-bellied handi with a narrow neck and a fitted domed lid, so steam circles back into the pot instead of escaping. It is the shape for dal makhani left on a low flame, undhiyu in winter and a dum biryani sealed with dough.
Tin-lined inside as standard, with a slightly thicker base than our kadai so long cooking does not catch. The lid knob is solid brass and doubles as a spoon rest on its side.

Rated 5.0 out of 5 Rated 5.0 out of 5 Forty engraved katori sets, zero mistakes
Wedding return gifts for my daughter’s sangeet. Names were engraved correctly on every set, deliveries split across six cities, and they sent a GST invoice the same day. The cotton bags were a nice touch.
Rated 4.0 out of 5 Proper copper bottle, learn the care
Unlacquered inside, which is what I wanted. It does darken quickly - the weekly lemon-and-salt rub on the care card is not optional. The hammered finish hides marks well.
Rated 5.0 out of 5 The thali rings like a bell
Ordered the matte kansa set for two. Heavy, beautifully turned, and it really does ring when you tap it. Dal tastes no different, but dinner feels like an occasion.
