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).

Artisan takes an ingot of Tin, heats it repeatedly and beats it to a sheet shape and then starts working on the corners carefully to bring it to the shape of the utensil.

Have grown up hearing about this. But never had the privilege of having rasam cooked in it. Thankfully, thanks to Team Zishta striving to procure quality stuff from skilled and experienced hands I can say I JUST GOT LUCKY. Never had rasam like this ever before. Definitely the tin reaction has effect. Very satisfying taste and feel. Even though it is expensive, I look at it like an investment for our kitchen and health. Totally worth it. ❤️❤️

After many years of contemplating, with regard to the cost and the quality I finally decided to get myself the famous EEYA CHOMBU. Must admit I was flabbergasted. The taste of rasam is something I can’t find a word in my dictionary to describe . A special aroma and taste to the palate. One can also leave the eeya chombu in the fridge. It is safe. Just ensure the flame is always @lowest. Knowing that you are cooking healthy and in a healthy cookware is so satisfying!! Totally worth the price tag. ESP @ Zishta I have NO WORRIES regarding their QUALITY.
