A brass handi is a traditional Indian cooking utensil made from high-quality brass. It typically has a rounded bottom and a wide mouth, allowing for even distribution of heat and better cooking results. Brass handis are known for their durability, as well as their ability to retain and evenly distribute heat, making them ideal for slow-cooking dishes like stews, curries, and rice-based dishes. The natural properties of brass also contribute to enhancing the flavors of the food being prepared.
