Cheenachatti | Cook and Serve Ware | 900ml to 1.2 Litres (Black)

The Heritage of Nilambur Pottery

Nilambur, Kerala, is renowned for its distinctive pottery craftsmanship. Traditional artisans source and prepare natural clay from the fertile regions around the Nilambur riverside and transform it into beautiful cookware through carefully practiced traditional techniques.

The unique character of Nilambur pottery comes from the quality of its natural clay, traditional craftsmanship and artisan skill. Every Cheenachatti is individually shaped and finished, giving each piece its own natural variations in texture, colour and character.

The rich black-earth finish adds a sophisticated and elegant appearance while retaining the authentic charm of traditional Kerala pottery.

Perfect for Cooking & Serving

The wide, shallow design of the Cheenachatti makes it particularly versatile for everyday Indian cooking. It is ideal for:

– Kerala-style vegetable dishes and thoran
– Mezhukkupuratti and stir-fries
– Avial and other traditional preparations
– Fish and seafood dishes
– Coconut-based curries
– Sautéing vegetables, spices and ingredients
– Slow and gentle cooking
– Direct serving at the dining table

The natural clay body helps distribute and retain heat, making it suitable for gentle, even cooking and allowing traditional dishes to develop their characteristic flavours and aromas.

From the Kitchen to the Dining Table

Designed as both cookware and serveware, this Cheenachatti can go beautifully from your kitchen to your dining table. Its traditional form and deep black finish create an elegant presentation for everyday meals and special occasions alike.

The two integrated side handles make it convenient to hold and present while serving.

Handmade – Every Piece Is Unique

No two handmade clay vessels are exactly alike. Small variations in colour, texture, shape and surface markings are natural characteristics of authentic handcrafted pottery and add to its charm.

Behind every Cheenachatti is the patience and expertise of artisans who continue the traditional pottery heritage of Nilambur.
