Culinary Heritage

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).
