Traditional Indian kitchens may feature utensils like tawa (griddle), kadai (wok), pressure cooker, and tandoor (clay oven), each used for specific cooking techniques.
Some common traditional Indian cooking utensils include:
Kadhai (iron or brass) for deep frying and sautéing
Handi for slow-cooking biryani, curries, and dals
Tawa (cast iron) for rotis and parathas
Sil-batta / Mortar-pestle for grinding spices
Lota & Kalash for storing and pouring water
Patila for boiling milk or making tea
Many homes still prefer brass and copper vessels for their heat retention and traditional flavour—something brands like http://www.Brassglobe.com keep alive through handcrafted, durable utensils.
