Traditional Artisanal Craftsmanship
Introducing our Handmade Clay Handi for Cooking, a beautiful and functional addition to your kitchen. This traditional South Asian cooking vessel comes from natural clay, expertly shaped by skilled artisans. They use either a potter’s wheel or hand-molding techniques. Each handi is fired in a kiln to enhance its durability and heat resistance. Therefore, it withstands the rigors of daily cooking.
