Customer Reviews
I purchased a large size but even that is small. I have La Chamba and also traditional India Kaal chatti and mud vessels. The Manipur black pottery is exceptionally light weight and easy maintenance while getting the same taste and health benefits as the other natural cookware. Having said that the downside is I feel that I have to be more cautious in handling them! The vessel warms up much faster than these other vessels and yes still has the food sticking to the bottom issue..need constant baby sitting while cooking to ensure even cooking and not sticking to the bottom. I would buy a extra large with lid next time!
Hi Sunitha

Awesome kadai
It's my honest review after using the product. The size of the kadai is sufficient for 3 to 4 people, looks good and easy to handle. The outcome of the food prepared was awesome in taste and texture. It holds heat for much longer time and the food prepared in it does not stick in the bottom. It's truly non stick and took much lesser oil. Im really happy with the purchase.
