Kal Chatti is a cooking vessel that is carved out from stone, usually soapstone which is a natural soft stone.
The soapstone carved Kal Chatti has thick-walled and is heavy. With these great properties, these stones ensure slow and even cooking.
Kal Chatti made of soapstone is porous, so the heat and moisture circulate through the stone pot while cooking. This will add and enhance the flavors.
Traditional Kal Chatti was used on the woodstove from ancient times. But our stone carved and Seasoned Kal Chatti have crafted in a way that these can also be used on the modern gas stove.
Basically, these Seasoned Kal Chatti used to prepare gravy, any type of veg and non-veg curry but we do not recommend Kal Chatti for dry preparations or sauteing.
The color of this Kal Chatti may vary from dull grey to dark black because it’s already seasoned based on the traditional and heritage methods.
