Katori
The katori are small pots, which are sometimes only ½
c to 1 cup each in size. They are used to hold many different
dishes such as:
• Currys
• Daals
• Gravies
• Chaat
Silver katoris are used for special occasions and festivals.
They are filled with different curries and gravies and served
on a circular metal tray, which is called a Thali. The breads
and rice are served on the Thali, while the curries and gravies
are in the katori’s. Many of the foods are eaten with fingers
and banana leaves are used for plates. These small Katori bowls
enhance the beauty of the dining room table for dinner parties.
Babies that are born in Bangalore are given a born pure silver
dining set. These sets contain their own thali, katori, silver
glass tumbler, and fork and knife set.
