A traditional Kerala duo- the uruli and chattukam

A traditional uruli - this one can hold enough payasam for 2,000 people

With an uruli so big can the chattukam(stirrer) be left behind???

Wow! thats cool. What a massive uruli. I am sure, preparing payasam in this metal uruli enhances the taste of the payasam. Thanks for sharing this picture.

Seena, the pics were taken during my father's Shastiabdapoorthy a few months back.
Ayyo, kashtam...makes you feel real sad when u lose something that's been in the family for ages.

At my father's place they have lots of this uruli and chattukams, not to feed 2000 people though :) but grandma had each one for her 12 kids ranging in different sizes :) ur post just reminded me of all that :)
