No matter how often you visit restaurants to try different cuisines and avoid Indian traditional dishes, once you understand the health benefits of having home-cooked Indian foods and unhealthy ingredients used in the restaurants to make dishes more spicy and delicious, you would surely visit an Indian grocery store and buy all the grocery items to start cooking at home. Learning how to cook Indian cuisines is not rocket science. Anyone with zeal and enthusiasm can learn it, but at the same time, you need to have all the tools that are essential to cooking mouth-watering Indian dishes. As they say, it is all about how it was cooked. If you want to cook Indian cuisines, you need to have all those tools that have special roles to play when it comes to authentic Indian food making. Furthermore, these tools will also make cooking interesting, convenient, comfortable and easy. In this blog post, we will discuss some of these kitchen tools that you can buy online or from your nearby Indian grocery store. Stainless steel spice containerLeave aside Indian spices and there is nothing left in Indian dishes. Amazing and very healthy Indian spices were the reasons Britishers and Portuguese came to India for trade purposes. In the 16th and 17th century, Indian spices were hugely popular across the globe due to some unparalleled health benefits they offered, alongside the unique taste those spices added to the dishes. You cannot imagine an Indian kitchen without spices and you need a container to store them also. If you go to a grocery store near you, you will find a wide range of spices containers, but choosing a stainless steel spice container is recommended. It will keep the spices fresh and clean. Belan and Chakla (Flatbread making tools) Indian flatbreads are so popular across the globe and they are made with the help of belan and Chakla. Belan is a rolling pan that is used to give a round shape to flatbread and makes cooking much easier and comfortable. The grip is strong and you can apply adequate pressure while rolling down the flatbread flour. A flat and circular board is called Chakla on which flatbreads are rolled out. You can go for wood or stone Chakla with a stable surface or there are new stainless steel Chakla available online. Visit a nearby Indian grocery store to get a branded pair of belan and chakla. Pressure cooker You cannot imagine an Indian kitchen without a pressure cooker. In some Indian homes, you might find multiple pressure cookers of different sizes to address eating demands of joint families, a common phenomenon in the Indian culture. One of the most important benefits of a pressure cooker is that it reduces the cooking time from hours to minutes. From steaming idlis to boiling vegetables to braising meaty curries, a pressure cooker can play various roles in the Indian kitchen. A traditional Indian meal contains a minimum of 5 to 6 dishes and without a pressure cooker, it will take hours to cook all of them. Tawa (Concave griddle pan)Mostly used to cook flatbreads, the tawa is a circular and slightly concave griddle pan and is made in a manner that it distributes the heat evenly. There is a wide range of tawas available in the market nowadays with different sizes, but a standard size will function well for your requirements. The tawa means cooking pan and is referred to as tawa only in most of the Indian languages. Chimta (a kitchen tool used to flip flatbreads)Most of the time, chimta, a sturdy pair of tongs that have pointed tips, made of iron or stainless steel is used to flip flatbreads on a tawa by Indian cooks. A flatbread is flipped on each side multiple times to cook it perfectly and using hands is not convenient and at the same time comfortable. Using a chimta is recommended for that. Flat Bottom Deep Fry Pan Another important tool that is used to cook Indian vegetables and various other cuisines is Kadhai or a flat bottom deep fry pan that has steeper sides and a flat bottom. These pans are also available in various sizes and types, but I highly recommend to use the Anodized cast iron pan which can be cleaned and maintained easily and effortlessly. From tasty samosas and kachoris to sweet items such as Khir and Mohanthal can be made with this pan. A must tool for the Indian kitchen. Conclusion: Some other kitchen tools you need to purchase are mini deep fry pan, Sifter, stainless steel knives, Tea Strainer, Stainless Steel Mortar and Pestle, and a mixer. Go to a nearest Indian grocery store or you can order online for these kitchen tools. Get the latest updates and offers from our store. Stay Updated!
