I am writing this article thinking that I can share the informations what I know about Kalachatti, which is also known as stoneware. We all know about kalachatti and its benefits and uses. Once upon a time, it was popular in our villages cooking foods in kalchattis. In every home in our villages, there had at least 2 to 3 kalachattis as common, but when the modern kitchenwares came into our homes, all the old vessels disappeared and we thrown them into the garbage, kalachatti also disappeared along with this, but in old days, it was very common, used to cook foods in kalachattis, especially in South India.
