Haandis...of different shapes and sizes
I am quite fascinated by the variation in shapes of same pots within a geographic region! Here is part of my haandi collection from India. Haandis are generally used for cooking rice in India. Insoem parts they also use it for cooking meat or biryani. Of late Haandi cooking has been quite popular outside India.
They are from different parts of India. The biggest one came from Northern Karnataka (precisely from Badami in Bijapur). That one is over 100 year old. The smallest one I found in a pots and pans store in Ambasamudram in Tamil Nadu. the owners were surprised that I was going through their old pots and pans stock and asking them if they would sell them. Brass Uruli came from a frien's mother as a gift which is also at least 50 years old. The brass handi is from a shop in Tirunelveli town next to the big Nellaiappa temple. The terracotta and wooden ones are from Calcutta. The ceramic one id from Khurja in Uttar Pradesh.
