Hand crafted
Some cookware is made to be used. Others are made to be remembered.
The Royal Hammered Brass Handi with Lid brings together timeless craftsmanship and everyday functionality. Handcrafted by skilled artisans of Pitalnagri, every hammered detail reflects India's rich metalworking heritage, while its elegant form makes every meal feel a little more special.
Whether you're preparing a comforting dal, a festive biryani, slow-cooked curries, or serving warm food straight to the dining table, this handi is designed to retain heat naturally, helping your dishes stay warm for longer. The matching lid locks in warmth and flavour, while the mirror-polished brass finish adds a royal touch to your kitchen and dining space.
More than just cookware, it's a piece that celebrates mindful cooking, traditional values, and the joy of sharing meals with loved ones. Built to last for generations, this is the kind of heirloom you'll proudly use today and pass on tomorrow.
Because some kitchens deserve more than ordinary cookware—they deserve a legacy.

Everyday Care
- Wash with mild dish soap and a soft sponge after each use.
- Avoid using abrasive cleaners, steel wool, or harsh scrubbers, as they may damage the finish and tin lining (Kalai).
- Dry thoroughly with a soft cloth after washing to prevent water spots and maintain its natural shine.
To Restore the Shine
Over time, brass/Copper/Kansa naturally develops a soft patina, which is a sign of authentic metal and does not affect its performance.
To bring back its original lustre :
- Gently rub the exterior with a natural paste made from Flour (atta) + Lemon + Salt.
- Rinse with clean water and wipe dry immediately.
- Avoid using acidic cleaners on the tin-lined interior (Kalai).
