The Brass Lagan — Made for Big-Batch Cooking
The Brass Lagan from Kansawala is the broad, shallow vessel an Indian kitchen reaches for when cooking for many — biryani, halwa, sheera and slow-simmered dishes. Handcrafted in fine brass by our artisans in Sihor, it spreads heat evenly across its wide base for cooking that is full of flavour.
Features of Brass Lagan
- Wide, Shallow Base: a broad cooking surface, ideal for biryani, halwa and large-batch dishes.
- Tin-Coated (Kalai): a tin lining gives a non-reactive surface and keeps cooking safe.
- Even Heat: brass spreads heat across the base for steady, even cooking.
- Sturdy & Lasting: made of high-quality brass, built for years of use.
Benefits of Brass Lagan
- Made for Gatherings: cook generous quantities for family and festive occasions.
- Versatile: biryani, halwa, sheera, dum dishes and more.
- Traditionally Valued: cooking in brass is a long-cherished Indian tradition.
Bring home the Brass Lagan from Kansawala and cook the dishes your family gathers for.

THE INDIAN KITCHEN
Brass,
The Metal Indian Kitchens Kept
In Indian homes, the metal on the table was never a small decision. Brass — Pital — is the oldest working metal of the Indian kitchen: an alloy of copper and zinc, the warm golden vessel that carried the water, held the grain and served the feast, one generation to the next. We line ours with tin — kalai — the old way, so even sour, everyday food sits safe on it. It holds a glow no other metal keeps, and rings clear and true when struck.
Who We Make For
Drawn By The Beauty, Kept By The Story.
We make for every home that sets a table - the everyday and the celebration, the rooted and the far from home.
Bought once, kept for life, passed on — the metal, and the home, carried forward.
Why Kansawala
The Proof, Side By Side.
Most sellers ask you to trust the story. We ask you to check the metal.

From furnace to your hands
Where the metal begins
Most who sell it, buy it. We make it - the whole difference.
Graded Brass Sheet, ISO-Marked
Every batch starts as 70 parts copper to 30 parts Zinc, weighed by hand at our own furnace. Most sellers buy metal already mixed elsewhere; we measure ours ourselves, so we know exactly what's in it.
Spun And Shaped By Hand
Hand-beaten pieces are shaped cold, blow by blow under the hammer, so each one is lighter, tougher, and a little different from the next. Cast pieces are poured molten into a mould, giving a heavier, uniform piece every time. Most sellers carry only one of these; we make and stock both, in every size.
Tin-Lined Where You Eat, Polished Where You See
The inside is lined with tin — kalai — so food stays safe; the outside is polished to the warm brass glow.
Pure copper and Zinc, weighed by hand
The metal goes to a NABL-accredited lab, so the 70:30 on the page is the 70:30 in your hand.
Shipped Directly From Sihor
Straight from the family workshop in Sihor to your table — no middleman in between.

Ask The Maker
Across The Counter
Yes. We start from ISO-marked brass sheet — 70:30 copper and zinc — and spin and shape each piece by hand in our Sihor workshop. The marks it carries are worked by hand, not stamped by a machine.
Brass is a living metal — over the years it deepens to a warm, older gold. A wipe with lemon and salt, or a little brass polish, brings the shine back whenever you want it. The dulling is the metal breathing, not a fault
Yes. The inside is lined with tin — kalai — the traditional way, so even sour or salty food sits safe on it. Bare brass reacts with acidic food; the kalai is exactly what keeps your dal and kadhi pure. When the lining wears with years of use, send it back and we re-line it.
No — only the pieces that meet wet or sour food. A patila, handi or glass is lined with tin inside, because dal, kadhi and buttermilk are acidic and would react with bare brass. Dry-storage pieces don't need it: the ghee pot, the chapati box and the masaladani hold ghee, rotis and dry spices — nothing that reacts — so we leave them as pure, bare brass, the way they have always been kept. If a piece has no lining, that is by design, not a fault.
Warm water, a mild soap and a soft sponge after each use — no harsh scouring on the tin lining. For the outside, lemon and salt or a brass polish restores the glow. Dry it before you put it away. When the kalai thins, we re-line it.
Bring any piece back, any time, and take store credit at the day's metal rate. We also mend, re-polish and re-line what we make. We are the makers — what we make, we can tend to.
1 litre suits a small family or a single dish; 3 litres is the everyday all-rounder; 5 litres is for a full house or festival cooking. Each comes with a fitted lid.
