Tara Deshpande This is made of brass.
My ancestors used to make copper vessels including this idly cooker which was named 'Thonduru' in different shapes with multi uses. Tinning them once a few years was the norm.

Salsette Island near Mithi River

Tara Deshpande Thanks. It is truly a remarkable map. I have seen many maps ( refer Asiatic Library), I have a doubt whether this map is of 1764 vintage. The seven islands were sort of conjoined after a lengthy process of reclamation from the tides. It could be of later date. Perhaps I am wrong.

Tara Deshpande The map is priceless ! I had come across the painting of Catherine at a palace in Cascais in Portugal . Also sharing a map of old Bombay around the 1700s . You will see the present Kalbadevi temple ( built by my ancestors in 1785 and still with us ) was at Mahim and people used…

Indeed.

I promise I’ll post an idli recipe and you can see the whole patr. It really is so beautiful. Indian craftsmanship is par excellence.

I keep thinking it’s brass but it feels very dense and is extremely heavy so am wondering if it’s kansa
But Kansa vessels don’t generally have tin plating no?

Tara Deshpande We too have a Copper one
We call it an Idli pedavan or aatti

My great grandmothers idli patr. When cookware was etched with the family name and passed down. This will soon have been used by five generations. A Happy Mother’s Day to all your mothers and grandmothers who have cooked for you with so much love, fed us while sometimes remaining…

Tara Deshpande Nhava and Sheva islands are also shown.

One sad aspect of hyper-polarization in India is the declining credibility of economists. Many of the most prominent Indian economists are clearly camp followers of one or the other major party. When was the last time you saw an economist regarded as pro-Modi criticize three…

Canara and Karavalli not the same
