The Artarium Brings Back a Piece of Tradition to Indian Kitchens

As the Indian kitchens continue to modernize, there are certain utensils that fall out of favor. Among these lost pieces of tradition is the paraat, a utensil that has been used since the days of our mothers and grandmothers to knead dough for rotis, chapatis, and other everyday delicacies.

With an attempt to revive this lost charm of the Indian culinary space, Artarium has unveiled their own take on the brass paraat - designed extensively to suit any kitchen.

Artarium’s design have always captured the imagination through the elegance and beauty of their offerings, whether in the home decor category or car dashboards and God idols collection. Now, they are looking to bring the same quality to the kitchens. And representing this pursuit of culture is their brass paraat.

Crafted entirely from brass, this paraat is beautifully traditional not only in form but also in function. Its standout feature is its stunning golden shade, that makes it a sophisticated addition to any kitchen.

A reminder of a forgotten culture

The paraat holds a special significance in the culture of hundreds of Indian households. It's sturdy and durable build means that it is built to last - often handed down from one generation to the next and serving as a link to past culinary traditions and family heritage.

Using a brass paraat in cooking not only enriches the culinary experience but also encourages a connection to one’s roots, especially in the cooking process with a deep sense of tradition and authenticity. In various cultures, the brass paraat transcends its role as a simple kitchen tool and is used in important rituals and ceremonies.

Thaal, tasla, platter – one can find many variants of the paraat, all used for different purposes.

Functional appeal

This brass paraat is incredibly functional and versatile. Firstly, it is designed to accommodate large quantities of dough at once, which is perfect for preparing rotis for large-sized families. It has a smooth surface and a wide base to make the art of kneading flour a pleasure. Secondly, it is very durable. Its high-quality brass frame allows it to withstand everyday use and remain a reliable tool for years to come. Thirdly, maintaining a brass paraat is very easy and requires minimal effort. It can be simple cleaned with mild soap and warm water, followed by storage in a dry place which prevents tarnishing and ensures the utensil remains hygienic.

Lastly, since it is made of brass, it helps preserve antioxidants that are available in various flours.

Aesthetic appeal

The brass paraat brings timeless elegance and a touch of tradition to any kitchen or dining space. Its rich, golden color fills any space with a rustic charm. The paraat is carefully made, adding a unique, artisanal touch to the product. Over time, the natural patina that develops on brass further enhances its character, giving it a vintage feel.

Whether used for kneading dough, serving food, or simply as a decorative element, the brass paraat adds a statement of beauty, tradition, and artistry to any space. Its visual appeal makes it not only a functional tool but also a timeless piece of décor that blends well with both modern and traditional kitchens.
