The traditional Indian cuisine relies heavily on clay pots and vessels for imparting an earthy aroma to the food. Ancient recipes for Biryani and other meat dishes state earthenware as an integral part of the cooking process that is essential for bringing out the flavors of the ingredients. One of the most popular items of clay crockery is the Kulhad, a cup made out of clay which is used across the country, for serving Masala Chai, Mishti Doi, Rice Phirni, and Kulfi, among other beverages and desserts. These traditional Kulhads not only provide a rich earthiness to the food but are also an Eco-friendly and hygienic alternative to plastic or glass tumblers, which is why they are making a major comeback in India with the green revolution gaining momentum in the country. #kulhad #chaitime #solytierra #handmade #pottery (at Poterie Sol y Tierra) https://www.instagram.com/p/CW67L-XrfHM/?utm_medium=tumblr
