HOW TO PREPARE YELLOW PUMPKIN CURRY USING A BRONZE VESSEL?

   

The taste of a dish depends on many factors, one of which is the vessel in which it is prepared.

Bronze cookware is a good choice for cooking because it's durable, conducts heat well, and can distribute heat evenly. 

Bronze's copper content allows for even heating, which is important for cooking dishes like sauces and vegetables. 

Bronze cookware is resistant to warping, cracking, and denting so it lasts for generations. 

Bronze utensils help preserve the nutritional content of food. 

With these advantages, in those days Bronze vessels were highly used in cooking which were later replaced with stainless steel vessels in South India. Here is a recipe that tastes best when cooked using the bronze vessel.
