Discover the Magic of Dum Cooking with Ashtok’s Traditional Brass and Copper Handis


When it comes to authentic Indian cuisine, few dishes capture hearts like Hyderabadi Dum Biryani. One of the secrets to its irresistible flavor lies in the vessel it's cooked in—a traditional handi. At Ashtok, we bring you a premium collection of handcrafted brass and copper handis that elevate your cooking experience and preserve age-old culinary traditions.

Why Choose a Traditional Handi for Biryani?
The slow-cooking process, or "dum," is essential for rich, aromatic biryani. A handi's rounded bottom and thick walls allow for even heat distribution, ensuring the biryani cooks gently and evenly. The lid helps trap steam and flavor, giving you that perfectly moist and flavorful result.

Ashtok’s Handi Collection: Quality Meets Craftsmanship

  • Brass Handis – Excellent heat retention, ideal for slow-cooked meals.

  • Copper Handis – Known for even heating and elegant presentation.

  • Clay Handis – Earthy flavor and traditional appeal.

  • Stainless Steel Handis – Convenient and durable with a traditional touch.

How to Use a Handi for Dum Biryani:

  1. Marinate your meat with spices and yogurt.

  2. Layer basmati rice over the marinated meat.

  3. Seal the lid with dough to trap the steam.

  4. Cook on low flame to allow flavors to infuse.

  5. Let it rest before serving to enhance taste and aroma.

Experience Authentic Flavor
Whether you're preparing biryani for a family gathering or a special celebration, using a traditional handi from Ashtok ensures a delicious and memorable meal. Our handis are built to last and are as visually stunning as they are practical.
