The Modak Patra, or steamer vessel, is a traditional cooking utensil originally crafted for making modak, aluwadi, patode, and more.
This versatile steamer is made of copper and tin-coated on the inside, ensuring safe and efficient cooking.
It can be used for preparing a variety of dishes such as modak, momos, ela ada, patra, steamed vegetables, corn, and many others.
Comprising three parts—the base vessel for boiling water, a steaming plate for placing the food, and a dome-shaped lid for effective steaming—the Modak Patra is a staple in Maharashtrian kitchens.
Handcrafted predominantly by Coppersmiths of Maharashtra, this utensil preserves the authenticity of traditional cooking methods.
