That Sunday Cooker: Where Clay Meets Calm and Curry
That Sunday Cooker: A Clay Pot That Cooks with Heart
Some meals aren’t just about hunger. They’re about memories. About slow Sundays when the kitchen smells like tadka, and time moves at the pace of bubbling dal.
Meet That Sunday Cooker — a handcrafted clay pot that doesn’t just cook your food, it nourishes your soul.
From the Wild to Your Table
In the dense forests of Pench, Madhya Pradesh, lies the remote village of Pachdhar, where generations of tribal potters still shape the earth by hand. Here, pottery is not just a craft; it’s a legacy. Every piece is molded with care, fired with love, and passed from one hand to another with deep respect for tradition.
That Sunday Cooker is born from this earth. Made using age-old techniques, it’s fired at 1200°C in a process that preserves the purity of the clay and the spirit of the artisan.
