Hi sir.. is it ok to cook rice in bronze utensils as i have bought from madurai... He said that bronze is better than brass.. so i have started cooking rice in bronze vessel since 1 week.. please help me out with this confusion... Which one is better Bronze or brass.. as my grand parents used only brass vessels.. but i bought bronze and started cooking in that..
Hello Jyothi It is perfectly fine to cook rice in bronze vessel.It is better than the brass since bronze vessels generally have thicker body and the heat distribution and retention is much better and longer. This gives even and uniform heat supply to the cooking rice and the rice is cooked to its full potential .Thus the rice cooked in bronze is more flowery and tasty. Your grand parents must have used brass vessels for the reasons, - bronze is much costlier than brass and functionally brass serves the cooking purpose quite well.In those days because of larger families, you need bigger vessels and few numbers to cater to visitors and guests.Brass is much handy for daily cooking and bronze is used mainly for ceremonial cooking on ritual pooja days and in Pongal preparation on Pongal festival day. Further ,Bronze is heavy and the elders in the family find it difficult to handle hot and heavy vessel particularly at the time of draining the rice starch water after the rice is done. Please go ahead and use the Bronze vessel happily and enjoy a blissful meal.

Thank you Sir.. We need guidance from your abundance knowledge. I have bought brass vessel it has silver color coating on interior side. Can I cook daal and rice in it?
Hello Shilpa Gurnani You can cook daal, rice or any other of your favorite dishes in it. It is absolutely safe. This silver color coating you are talking about is called "kalai" or a tin metal coating . Tin metal is very neutral metal and it does not react with any type of food . In fact tin adds to the taste of the food. In Tamil Nadu there is a vessel called "Eeyam patra" which is entirely made out of Tin metal and is exclusively used to prepare "Rasam". They say that "Rasam" cooked in the Tin vessel tastes divine.Most of the brass vessels used for cooking are coated with Tin since brass reacts with certain types of food material and Tin coating acts as a layer between the food and the brass metal.So please go ahead and prepare any type of food you enjoy in your acquired brass vessel.
@@y.k.murthy9714 thank you so much sir. Kindly start business on bronze and brass vessels online. With your true knowledge we will get genuine authentic products. For sure I will be your 1st customer.. 🙏
Hi Renu Rathod You are absolutely right. All our traditions are time tested and our ancestors have passed on their wisdom of good living and health to us by way of rituals and customs.
I clean the brass, bronze and copper vessels with Tamarind fruit juice. This is natural way of cleaning .There are few chemical products also are there to clean brass like Brasso etc.
Hello ,The Idli patra shown in the video is our personal collection meant for exhibiting in our Home Museum. It is not meant for sale. If you are interested in a new Idli patra i can suggest one or two on line dealers.
Hello Meiyazhagan The items shown in our video are our collection items and are meant for exhibition in our Home Museum. They are not meant for sale. However we have noted your interest and will inform all our contacts about your requirement.
Hello Paul. Nice to know that your friend has gifted you 90 years old idli patraa.Particularly because it is her mother's collection it is a valuable and proud to be collection.
Sir thank you so much for this video. I am looking to buy pure bronze (Kansa )utensils for serving food (plate, bowls and spoon) , where can I get them sir ?
Hello Jay Cee There are few people currently making the traditional bronze table ware and you can get them online. Do some search on google and you will get some reasonably good results. Please try internet and if you still need any help ,please let me know. Where do you stay ? May be i can suggest some shopping places.
Hello Aleti Rajeswari I remember you calling me but somehow we lost contact. It is nice that we could re-connect . I have located few sources. Since you have my number ,please WhatsApp me and i will share the details.
For making Idli, you do not require Kalhai .The bottom part of the vessel is meant for water to generate steam when boiled. This does not require Kalhai. The upper part where idli paste is kept also does not require kalhai sine the idli paste is poured on a cloth and not directly on the brass metal. But in south India, they apply kalhai to the vessel so that it can be used for other cooking purpose also.Further kalhai layer gives strength to the body of the vessel and the vessel becomes long lasting.
Hello Sangeeta Rao I am happy to know you like Traditional Idli Pot and you are looking for one. Please let me know whether you are looking for an old antique one or the new ones made in bras would suffice your requirement.

Thanks Sukanya madam for your encouraging comments.I am happy to hear that you are are using brass/copper vessels in every day Cooking and enjoying the benefits of traditional way of cooking.Please be in touch on my mail ID so that i can share you the sources for traditional cooking vessels.
Hello Harikalaparthi Hari I have seen brass Idli patra in the street shops surrounding the Meenakshi temple in Madurai, Tamil Nadu. You can also try in Thanjavur, Kumbakonam temple street shops.
Hi Deepak Thukral,these items are from my family passed on to me by my elders.I have not purchased them.Thanks for the interest shown on these Idli patras.
Hello Rajesh kumar Nice to know that your mom is a proud owner of Brass Idli steamer. Now it is rare to see one and has taken the status of a collector's item.It is difficult to maintain brass Idli patra since cleaning is an issue. Most of the people shifted to Stainless steel Idli stand and steam in the pressure cookers for convenience.But the taste of Idlis steamed in brass Idli patra is excellent . May be you can try and taste Idlis in your brass Idli patra on a Sunday and experience traditional way of preparing Idlis.
Hello Durgasrinivas Chintapalli The brass Idli steamers are not generally manufactured now since there are no users for them. Most of the people use idli stand and steam in Pressure cookers.If you are very particular of brass Idli steamer, the only place i can think of is Madurai in Tamil Nadu. There are few brass selling shops in the streets surrounding the Meenakshi temple and you can get the brass Idli steamers there. You can also try in Thanjavur, Kumbakonam temple street markets.
Hello Rinki Tiwari If you want a new Idli patra i can help you by giving a link where you can buy on line. however if you want an antique Idli patra they are not available in any shop to go and buy. We have to find out from various antique dealers through our contacts whether they have this item. Please let me know your preference.
