Kalchatti (Kachatti)(Kitchen treasures)



Kal Chatti is used to make vathal Kozhambu
Kal Chatti

Kal means stone and chatty means pot. I bought kalchatti(Kachatti) from Kerala. It is carved out of a single piece of soapstone.Before using for cooking you have to wash and season it with pouring rice kanji .It will be break if you prepare curry with out seasoning.it is grey /black in colour. Vathalkuzhambu, sambar, rasam avial and other food items become very tasty when cooked in kalchatti. I use kalchatti to make pulikachal and vathakuzhambu.
Idli Thattu
