Brass plates can be used for eating if they are tin coated. Do not use brass thali plates without tin coating. Kansa (Bronze) is more aesthetic and is beneficial for daily usage.

Did not understand your point. Which is not perfect? The brass metal or the idli?

@@Zishta dosa tawa is perfect and in middle of the place dosa is not coming

Welcome 😊

Nice.. :)

Dear Asha.. There is no black coating, it is the seasoning done on iron. Iron base colour is greyish in colour. The same is heated in charcoal furnace and then we apply sesame oil with iron powder mix on the surface to season the tawa. Upon its cooling, the tawa gets darker. Do not remove the seasoning by scrubbing it. The dosa will start sticking to the tawa if you try scrubbing and removing it. The more you use it , the tawa will get darker with usage. Please note your comment is not deleted. We just took sometime to answer the same here. Any iron tawa if you keep rubbing it, will result in the seasoning coming off in your hand. Do reach out to us on Whatsapp at +919008220185 if you have any further queries and our team will patiently explain everything to you.

@@Zishta thank you for the explanation.. but each time I swipe my hand on tawa the black powder comes off. Thats why I was concerned and I could not see earlier comment so thought it must be deleted. I only wanted to know what is it and if its edible. Thank you!

Hey Asha- we have not deleted your comment. Its right here. ! I have answered your query in the next comment of yours. Sorry we took sometime to answer the question.

Wait for it to cool down a little bit to add the curd.

Extremely valid question. The challenge with using tin vessels is that tin has a very low melting point. Hence it is not very convenient to use that vessel. We do have a Eeya chombu that is used only for making rasam. Brass is an alloy of copper and Zinc and both are very alkaline metals. When we cook acidic elements in them excessive leaching will happen. Hence tin coating will prevent that excessive leaching. Same with bronze (Which is an alloy of copper and tin with zinc also present), when we cook acidic food, its safer if we use it with tin coating. Now with the tin coating, will it impact the benefits of cooking in them, for which we need to understand the 3 key benefits: 1. Nutrition protection >90% of nutrients are preserved while cooking in them and tin coating only enhances this benefit. 2. Alkaline nature helps in neutralising the acidity of the food cooked in them and tin coating still enhances this benefit 3. Micro nutrient addition - tin helps to prevent excessive leaching of copper, zinc into the food. Hope this clarifies your query

This is just an add on provided along with the idli pathiram. You can continue to use muslin cloth. Its just that they have been cut and shaped to the size of the plates.

Thank you very much,

Thank you so much

Yes. You can cook rice without kalai. But be careful , sometimes the water used can be acidic and can cause some patina formation.

But brass vessel cooking make its taste better

batter is very important but brass idli pathiram allows the steam to go through the batter as it has holes in the pits, there by making it fluffier.

Even SS plates have holes in it .... 🤔​@@Zishta

They are also good. Black clay pot are double backed and may not have the alkaline property like red clay but they have a longer life.

it is explained in the video. Do check it out.

yes. if you are making this early in the morning and having it after a few hours, the curd can become sour. Hence the use of milk which will set into curd in time and prevent the curd rice from turning sour.
