What Is Kalai or Khalai Coating in Brass Utensils?
Kalai is a traditional tin coating applied to the inner surface of brass and copper cooking vessels. It creates a tin-lined food-contact surface while the exterior retains its natural brass appearance.
Traditional Kalai requires appropriate care. The lining may gradually wear with repeated use, heating and cleaning. Inspect it regularly and arrange professional re-tinning when the coating becomes worn, patchy or damaged.
Do not continue cooking directly on exposed brass where the lining has worn away. Avoid high-temperature dry heating because tin has a relatively low melting point.
Brass Dekchi Sizes – 1 Litre, 2 Litres & 3.5 Litres
- 1 Litre Brass Dekchi: Approximately 6 inches in diameter and 5.5 inches in height. Suitable for smaller portions and everyday household preparations.

Choose the appropriate size according to your cooking requirements, stovetop compatibility and available kitchen space.
