DESCRIPTION

Copper Biryani Handi with Kalai for Traditional Dum Cooking

Prepare traditional biryani in the ASHTOK Copper Biryani Handi with Kalai, a heavy-gauge copper cooking vessel designed for dum biryani, pulao, curries, gravies and other slow-cooked Indian dishes.

The handi combines a heavy-gauge copper body with a traditional Kalai / tin-lined interior and a stainless steel lid, making it suitable for home kitchens as well as restaurants, caterers and professional food-service requirements.

Heavy Gauge Copper Handi for Cooking Biryani

Copper transfers heat efficiently across the vessel, making this Copper Handi for Cooking Biryani well suited to recipes that require controlled heating and slow cooking.

The broad handi profile provides space for layering rice, meat, masala and other ingredients when preparing Hyderabadi-style dum biryani and similar dishes.

Traditional Kalai / Tin-Lined Interior

The inside of the Copper Biryani Handi is coated with traditional Kalai, also known as tin lining. The tin layer forms the food-contact surface between the ingredients and the copper body.

Kalai naturally wears over time with regular cooking and cleaning. The lining should be inspected periodically and professionally renewed when it becomes significantly worn or the copper underneath begins to show.

Copper Biryani Handi with Stainless Steel Lid

Each handi is supplied with a stainless steel lid that helps cover the vessel during cooking and is particularly useful when preparing dishes using the dum method.

The combination of a copper body, Kalai-lined interior and stainless steel lid gives this handi the traditional construction required for biryani while providing a practical format for regular kitchen use.

Dum Biryani Handi for Hyderabadi-Style Cooking

This Copper Dum Biryani Handi is suitable for preparing Hyderabadi biryani, pulao, korma, nihari, curries, gravies and other traditional dishes that benefit from gradual cooking.

Available from 1 Kg to 8 Kg Biryani Capacity

The Copper Biryani Handi is available in 1 Kg, 2 Kgs, 4 Kgs, 5 Kgs and 8 Kgs cooking-capacity options. The different sizes make it suitable for smaller family preparations as well as larger gatherings, restaurant service and catering requirements.

1 Kg & 2 Kg Copper Biryani Handi

The smaller variants are convenient for home kitchens, smaller families and occasions where lower quantities of biryani or other dishes are being prepared.

4 Kg, 5 Kg & 8 Kg Big Copper Biryani Handi

The larger variants provide additional cooking space for functions, restaurants, catering kitchens and larger family gatherings. Customers looking for a big Copper Biryani Handi can choose from the 4 Kg, 5 Kg and 8 Kg options according to their requirement.

Copper Cookware for Home, Restaurant & Catering Use

The handi can be used in home kitchens as well as professional environments where traditional copper cookware is preferred for biryani and other Indian dishes.

CARE TIPS

  • Hand wash the Copper Biryani Handi using mild dishwashing liquid, warm water and a soft sponge or cloth.

  • Avoid steel wool, aggressive scrubbers and abrasive cleaning powders, especially on the Kalai-lined interior.

  • Use wooden, silicone or other non-abrasive cooking utensils inside the handi to help protect the tin lining.

  • Dry the handi thoroughly after washing to reduce water marks and exterior copper tarnishing.

  • Inspect the Kalai lining periodically and have the handi professionally re-tinned when the lining becomes significantly worn or copper begins to show through.
