Chimta

Chimta is a utensil that is found in every home that prepares Indian foods.
Some of the foods the chimta are used to prepare include:

• rotis
• papads
• chappathi

Chimtas are like tongs, used to pick up salads and different things you would find on a salad bar. Chimtas that the Indian culture uses are long and flat with rounded tips that are flame-resistant to be used to roast things over an open flame. The most popular brands are the ones with a long handle and the ends are flat with holes in each side. It kind of looks like your holding two fly swatters together and use them to pinch things. But they are all metal and will not burn while you hold them in the flame. These would be very popular on a camping trip.
