Welcome to the traditional Indian kitchen! Homes use local tools, clay stove hubs, and brass pots to bake flatbreads and slow-cook fragrant spices.
In this explorer, we will find 15 traditional items, including a clay stove (chulha), rolling pin (belan), griddle (tawa), spice box (masala dani), and iron wok (kadhai). Let's learn their names in English and Hindi.
Step inside, feel the warmth, and let's explore!
Cooking in a traditional kitchen is a celebration of taste and culture! Flatbreads are rolled using a wooden rolling pin (Belan) on a board (Chakla) and puffed on a griddle (Tawa). Fragrant spices are stored in a circular brass box (Masala Dani) and crushed using a stone mortar (Okhli). Food is turned using tongs (Chimta) and deep fried in an iron wok (Kadhai).
