In the rustic corners of rural Tamil Nadu, we discovered a hidden treasure-a traditional brass Idli vessel that had been lost to time. It took us three years to unearth this remarkable find, but the effort was well worth it. This incredible cluster of artisans breathed new life into these ancient brass Idli makers, restoring their exquisite charm and unmatched utility.
Crafted from brass, a metal known for its perfect balance of weight and size, our Idli cooker creates the ideal steam pressure, resulting in mouthwatering, tender idlis in just 10 minutes.
The intelligently designed idli plates, featuring strategically placed holes, allow steam to permeate the batter, ensuring thorough and speedy cooking.
For added convenience, the idli plates and the interior of the vessel are tin-coated, offering durability and ease of maintenance.
Choose from three sizes: 7 Idli Pits, 9 Idli Pits, or 12 Idli Pits (details in the specifications table above).
These are made to order products and would take 15-20 days to make and ship.
Note: The traditional work involves only hammering of the outer vessels and the edges might be sharp along the edges. This is minimally worked to smoothen as it could impact the lid closure. This is a natural imperfection which may be present in the idli vessel.

"Zishta is not just a store; it is a doorway to a healthier, more meaningful way of life. Their traditional vessels—crafted from kansa (bronze), pital (brass), kalchatti (soapstone), black pottery, tin, neem wood—are more than kitchen tools; they are treasures that bring back the nostalgia of childhood, like being fed by my dadi from dishes prepared in these timeless vessels.
My journey with Zishta has been transformative. Switching to traditional cookware marked a turning point in my life. Despite a PCOD and thyroid diagnosis in my 30s, I’ve remained healthy and symptom-free, with only minor signs like facial hair that don’t trouble me. My husband’s experiences are equally remarkable. From COVID and tuberculosis to jaundice, his strong gut—thanks to home-cooked meals prepared in Zishta vessels—has kept him resilient, sparing him from hospitalizations and major side effects.
Today, my husband has embraced home-cooked meals wholeheartedly, and I can’t thank Zishta enough for being a part of this beautiful journey. Their products not only connect us to our roots but also foster a healthier lifestyle. From the bottom of my heart, thank you, Zishta. Words can barely express my gratitude for all the positivity and health your vessels have brought into our lives."

The idli comes very soft and you can take out the idli plates and use it for cooking more rice, sambar and biryani.
Idli Patra itself is so beautiful and the idlis came out soft and fluffy.
