Traditional earthen cookware offers superior and safer cooking options. The porous nature of clay pots helps retain nutrients in food, unlike modern cookware. These pots provide essential minerals such as calcium, magnesium, iron, phosphorus, and sulfur. They require very little oil, preserving the moisture of ingredients for healthier and tastier meals.
The alkaline nature of clay maintains the pH balance of food by reducing acidity. Additionally, earthen cookware is biodegradable, making it eco-friendly. Due to these benefits, traditional cookware is regaining popularity. Rediscover the art of cooking with traditional earthen cookware and bring ancient Indian culinary wisdom back to your kitchen.

Clay curd setters are traditional earthenware pots designed to set and store curd naturally. They form the sweetest curd, just like in the old days, enhancing both texture and flavor.
Everything New is Not Always Good
Modern cookware has its drawbacks, making a return to traditional methods essential. Metal utensils gained popularity due to their convenience, but they often strip food of nutrients. Non-stick pans, a contemporary favorite, come with harmful Teflon coatings.
From Mortar and Pestle to Hand Mixers: Rediscovering the Charm of Ancient Indian Cookware
Ancient Indian cookware was designed to retain the full flavor and nutrients of food. For instance, the mortar and pestle, used for grinding, ensures the release of essential oils and flavors—a quality often lost with modern grinders. Our kitchens have evolved from stone grinders to hand mixers, and from clay pots to non-stick pans. In ancient times, clay pots were used for cooking, and clay lanterns illuminated homes and temples.
