In a workshop in old Srinagar. For your kitchen.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis roti tawa is shaped the way Kashmiri copper has been shaped for centuries — a flat sheet of copper, a hammer, and a thathera who knows exactly how many strikes it takes. No press, no mould. The faint hammer marks across the surface are the maker's signature.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCopper conducts heat faster and more evenly than steel or aluminium, so rotis cook through without the scorched centre and pale edges you get on a cheap tawa.

To bring back the shine, rub with lemon or tamarind and a pinch of salt, rinse, and dry immediately.
