Brass & Copper Handi - Traditional Cooking Pots (Deg) - Handcrafted Copper, Brass & Bronze Products

The handi is the soul of Indian slow cooking - from rich Lucknowi biryanis to creamy dal makhani, the rounded base and narrow mouth of a handi create the perfect environment for dum cooking. Our brass and copper handis are handcrafted in the traditional style, with Kalai (tin) lining for food-safe cooking.

Copper handis offer superior heat distribution, while brass handis provide excellent heat retention - both ensuring your dishes cook evenly and develop deep, complex flavours that flat-bottomed modern pots simply cannot replicate.

Crafted by artisans under the Manish Metals name from Jodhpur since 1997. Available in multiple sizes for home kitchens and professional use. Free shipping across India, 7-day returns.
