Why terracotta is the perfect choice for summer

With the changing times, we often forget a lot of our roots and grandma’s stories. But this summer, let’s be reminded that we do have an age-old companion to help you get through scorching heat and summers. Terracotta has been used in households for generations; it is like a best friend in the summer. The porous textures and natural cooling qualities of clay are important reasons to use it during the summer. The natural orangish red colour and matte texture add more to the table.

A home to keep your rotis warm and happy

Let’s begin with where every nostalgic memory comes from, be it your home or your grandma’s. We loved to sit by the kitchen and share stories while hot rotis with ghee were being made. This terracotta roti box also comes with a wooden lid to protect your food from pests or flies and to keep the leftovers warm. You can use this to store or even serve parathas, theplas, and phulkas. It is a fusion of two materials to bring a variety of colours and textures to your kitchen.

Set the summer rituals right for everyone

Curd has been a part of our diet for a long time. Having a teaspoon of curd with sugar or craving a glass of lassi and chaas is a must. You can make a thick batch of curd at home. A protein-rich diet full of good bacteria can help you get through a tiring summer day. This terracotta curd setter not only has health benefits, but the porous texture helps soak up excess water and make your curd creamy and store-bought-like. The wooden lid helps you cover it safely and firmly.

Sprouts save the day
