Free Shipping. Cash On Delivery Review: Sturdy slow cooking pot for traditional curries - The chatti is well made and looks strong. I seasoned it : 1. By applying a paste of turmeric powder and salt in it and keeping it out in the sun for five days. 2. Then from the sixth day by filling it with water drained after washing rice for seven days 3. After this I filled hot kanji water ( water after draining steamed rice made in an open vessel) for three days. 4. Then I cooked some sambar in it yesterday night. It turned out yummy. But the aroma would not leave the vessel even after washing with hot water. I guess I need to season it once before using it again. 5. Remember to always fill the vessel with liquid before putting it on the lighted stove. Keep the flame medium to low. 6. It is a pleasure to cook in this pot and the food feels so real and delicious. It is worth the effort which does not feel like one if you make time and get involved in the process. Then it feels therapeutic.

Took a long time for delivery. The vessel is good but I felt it was really expensive. As I needed it badly and there's no option in Punjab to procure the same I had to buy online. I wish it was cheaper I would have ordered more stone utensils and definitely bought a pair. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.sn/products/112139224-zishta-handmade-natural-soapstone-kalchatti-cookware-gas-and-electric-coil](https://www.desertcart.sn/products/112139224-zishta-handmade-natural-soapstone-kalchatti-cookware-gas-and-electric-coil) --- *Product available on Desertcart Senegal* *Store origin: SN* *Last updated: 2026-08-24*
