Free Shipping
Hand crafted
Every great kitchen has one pan that does it all. The one that’s reached for first, trusted the most, and passed down without question.
This is that pan.
The Brass Kadhai with Lid is hand-crafted by the artisans of Pitalnagri, built wide, built deep, and built to handle the full range of Indian cooking. From a quick tadka to a slow-simmered curry, from deep-frying to sautéing - brass distributes heat evenly across every inch, so nothing burns at the edges while the centre cooks.
The fitted lid locks in steam, aroma, and flavour - turning everyday cooking into something that tastes like it took all day.
Big enough for the whole family.
100% Pure Brass with Food-Safe Kalai
Lovingly handcrafted from 100% pure brass and finished with a food-safe kalai (tin) lining, this piece honours the timeless traditions of Indian cookware. Free from synthetic non-stick coatings, it lets you cook the way generations have—using authentic materials crafted for everyday kitchens.
Naturally Smooth Cooking Surface
The food-safe kalai lining creates a naturally smooth cooking surface that helps reduce sticking when used with the right amount of oil. It preserves the authentic taste of your recipes while making cooking and cleaning easier, bringing together traditional craftsmanship and everyday convenience.

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).
