Peedhi Hand-Hammered Brass Roti Tawa

The Brass Tawa is where every roti meets its moment — steady heat, honest metal, no shortcuts. Peedhi's hammered Tawa is hand-hammered by artisans in Jagadhri — each strike placed by hand, never by machine. Made from pure brass, it conducts heat evenly across its surface, giving flatbreads that characteristic golden base and soft, puffed centre that a coated modern tawa simply cannot replicate. It arrives ready to use — no seasoning required, no pre-treatment. Just place it on the flame and cook.

Place the tawa on a medium gas flame and allow it to heat for 60–90 seconds before cooking. Roll your roti to your preferred thickness and place it directly on the brass surface. The hammered texture holds a thin layer of ghee or oil evenly, preventing the paratha from sticking. Cook each side until golden spots appear. The insulated handle stays cool throughout — no cloth or mitt required. For phulkas, transfer directly to the open flame after the first side is cooked, as you normally would. Wipe the tawa clean between rotis with a folded damp cloth if needed.

1 × Brass Tawa — Hand Hammered, 10", with insulated handle

Do:
✓ Wash with mild soap and a soft cotton cloth or sponge after each use
✓ Rinse thoroughly and dry immediately — do not leave water sitting on the surface
✓ Polish surface with tamarind (imli) + salt paste every 3–5 days for natural shine
✓ A thin wipe of oil or ghee after drying keeps the surface in good condition

Don't:
✗ Never use steel wool, abrasive scrubbers, or chemical bleach
✗ Do not put in the dishwasher
✗ Do not cook on induction — brass is not induction-compatible
✗ Do not use very high flame — medium heat is sufficient and protects the handle joint

This Tawa was handcrafted in Jagadhri, Haryana — a city renowned for its centuries-old tradition of brass and copper craftsmanship. The artisans who made it carry knowledge passed down through generations of metalwork. The hand-hammered dotted pattern is struck by hand using a Jogni hammer — a technique that cannot be replicated by machine pressing, and that gives every Peedhi piece its distinctive texture and character.
