About Zishta Eeya chombu (Tin vessel) - Adukku Shape

Adukku shape is a modern day adaptation of the traditional Tin utensil.
Remember the days when rasam used to taste out of this world? When you close your eyes can you still feel the wonderful aroma of rasam cooked by your mother? A secret ingredient is the cookware itself: Eeya Chombu.
Our ancestors used this cookware for making a variety of rasam, to set curd and to store left over food to protect it from spoiling.
Eeya chombu by Zishta is made of pure Tin which is a metal by itself and not an alloy.
As per Ayurveda texts, Tin helps to maintain “Kappa", prevent diabetes, improve taste, skin complexion and intelligence and many more.
With only 2 artisans remaining who beat pure tin by hand for 8 hours to make one vessel, this may soon become just a collector’s item.
Own your Zishta Eeya Chombu & revive the flavour of rasam in your kitchen today.
Zishta cookware are tested in NABL accredited laboratory and comply with EU standards for Restriction of Hazardous Substances (RoHS).
