Unglazed Clay Dahi Handi/Curd Pot/Clay Pot with Lid

A handmade, unglazed black clay handi with lid, made for setting dahi and for slow cooking and serving in the traditional way. Each piece is shaped by hand and stone-polished to a smooth, mirror-like finish.

Why cook in clay

• Gentle, even heat: clay warms slowly and holds its heat, so food cooks gently without scorching.
• Rich taste & aroma: the earthy character of natural clay is what gives handi-cooked food its traditional flavour.
• Thick, creamy dahi: the porous walls absorb excess water, helping curd set thick.
• Cook, set & serve: goes straight from the kitchen to the table.

Care

• Before first use, soak in water for a few hours and let it dry fully.
• Use on low to medium flame. Avoid sudden temperature changes, such as pouring cold water into a hot pot.
• Wash with warm water and a soft brush. Avoid harsh soaps and steel scrubbers.

Each piece is handmade, so shape and size may vary slightly (up to 10%).
