Brass Degchi

• The P•TAL 4L Brass Degchi is made for the kind of cooking that asks for time. Biryanis that need to settle into their flavours. Curries that simmer slowly. Daal, stews, and one-pot dishes that become better when the heat stays steady rather than hurried.

• Handcrafted in brass with a traditional food-safe kalai lining, its deep Degchi form gives you generous room to cook and stir, while brass distributes heat evenly across the vessel. A fitted lid helps hold in heat and aroma, and sturdy side-ring handles make the vessel easier to move from stove to table.

• At 4 litres, it is substantial enough for family meals and special cooking without feeling oversized for the everyday kitchen.
