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
This is the idli mould.We use to make idli.Pour the batter into this and steam them.
Idli Thattu is used to make idli,idyappam and kozhakattai

We use Ultra Wet Grinder to make idli/dosa batter. Rice 3 cups and 2 cup urad dhal. Soak them separately for 6 hours and grind them separately. add salt and keep over night.Very very useful.
