Roshni Mortar & Pestle

It is made of Kansa bronze - a 4:1 ration of tin to copper - the purest form of bronze.

You can keep it on your kitchen counter (preferably in a cool & dry place to avoid tarnish).

You can use it to grind spices, make ginger garlic paste, and even crack your Anamalai nutmeg! However, we do recommend not leaving acidic ingredients, like vinegar or lemon juice, in your mortar & pestle for too long as they may cause stains.

Yes, the pestle is a little lighter in color when compared to the mortar because the composition of copper is higher in the pestle to ensure that it doesn’t break easily.

Kansa bronze is made by melting tin and copper together. Bronze can be fragile, so the pestle has a higher tin ratio so it is stronger and won't break if it falls.

To avoid tarnishing over time and to help maintain its original shine, you can either:

1. Make a paste with flour and vinegar, apply it on the mortar & pestle, and wash it off.
2. Use Flitz or Pitambari for stronger tarnishing! View our cleaning video for our Masala Dabba for more deets!

It absolutely depends on your personal preference. If you feel like your mortar & pestle is looking a little oxidized, you can always use Flitz Metal Polish to retain the shine!

A mortar & pestle is used to crush and grind spices, herbs, seeds, and aromatics into powders or pastes. Unlike an electric grinder, it gives you more control over the texture and helps release the natural oils in your ingredients, bringing fresh flavor and aroma to your cooking.

A mortar & pestle set includes two pieces: the mortar, which is the bowl where you place your ingredients, and the pestle, the handheld tool used to crush and grind them. Together, they're useful for making fresh spice blends, sauces, herb pastes, and other everyday kitchen staples.

A kitchen mortar and pestle gives you control over how coarse or fine you want your ingredients, while gently crushing spices and herbs to release their natural oils. It's especially handy for small batches of spice blends, garlic, ginger, and fresh pastes, making it a kitchen tool you'll reach for whenever you want to build flavor from scratch.
