The broad round cooking profile provides space for arranging layers of basmati rice, marinated chicken or mutton, vegetables, spices and aromatic masala. Its matching aluminium lid supports covered cooking during traditional dum preparation.

Whether you are searching for an Aluminium Biryani Handi, Heavy Gauge Aluminium Biryani Handi, Heavy Base Biryani Handi, or Biryani Handi with Lid, this traditional vessel offers a practical option for layered Indian cooking.
The ASHTOK Biryani Handi features heavy-gauge aluminium construction designed for regular cooking applications.
Aluminium conducts heat efficiently and responds to adjustments in cooking temperature, making it useful for rice dishes and other preparations requiring controlled heating.
Its broad cooking surface allows ingredients to be spread and layered across the vessel.
The handi features a substantial cooking base suited to traditional covered-cooking methods.
During dum preparation, rice, meat or vegetables and masala are arranged in layers before being cooked under a lid using controlled heat.
A thick base can support gradual cooking when used with an appropriate stove, burner or heat-distribution method.
Proper temperature control remains essential to help prevent scorching.
The traditional wide and relatively shallow body provides room for arranging biryani ingredients.
Each handi includes a matching aluminium lid that helps limit steam escape during covered cooking.
Some traditional dum biryani methods use dough around the lid to create an additional seal.
The matching lid also helps keep the prepared biryani covered while resting before serving.
