The Traditional Indian Food will not be called traditional if it is not made by including the following equipment. Every Indian restaurant makes that serves traditional Indian food makes use of these:

Khal Batta

Though the herbs and spices can be reduced to fine powder by making use of the grinder. But to infuse that stony taste, the use of the Khal Batta is a must. It is the traditional Indian equipment that could not only pound the dried red chilies but ground dals as well.

The modern Khal Batta is made of modern materials like granite, stainless steel, and wood.

Sil Batta

This is customarily used when the chutneys are to be prepared.

  • Sil: Flat stone slab

  • Batta: Cylindrical stone that is used to chisel

Churner

This is an old-school muddler that is made of wood which has an extremely long handle and is made with a circular base. It is the best frothing material. It is used to froth lassi. Based on your purpose of using it, you can choose your preferred size.

Kal Chatti

This is the old Kerala utensil. By Kal, we mean stone, and chatti means a pot in which the food is cooked. The pot is made from soapstone. Before you put it into the pot, you can cover it with hot rice water.

Wondering why it happened?

It is done to make the pot avoid cracking.

Coconut scraper

Our ancestors were wiser than us. They have found out the equipment for each of their cooking needs. They knew how difficult it would have been if the shell of the coconut was to be removed. To make that thing easy, they invented a coconut scraper. All the south Indian Vegetarian restaurant in Sydney do use it.

Handi

The mouth of this utensil is narrow but its base is quite much broad so that the required material can be stored. Earlier the handis were made of clay or earthenware but the time has changed now. Everything is evolving and so is the traditional equipment. These are made up of the following:

  • Steel

  • Cast Iron

  • Copper

  • Brass

Coffee filter & grinder

I know, it is quite common but it is part of the traditional equipment. Even today. Many of the south Indian families make use of this equipment to grind their coffee beans so that they can feel nostalgic about their childhood and enjoy the nice brew. No doubt the coffee machines have eased out this thing, but we cannot obtain the nice taste from it.

Lagan

In Hyderabad ( Indian state), the big cuts of meat that are to be added in Biryani are never cooked in steel and copper utensils. They are cooked in Lagan (thick-walled utensils)
