The craft, by spoke

Six things that make the pot.

01

Saffron

Saffron milk is drizzled over the top, so every grain takes on that golden colour.

Every handi is built from the same six things, in the same order, every single day. Pick one to see where it goes.

Made slowly, seen closely

Kind words, served hot.

(08) From our kitchen

How a handi gets its soul.

  1. 01

    Marinate

    Chicken rests overnight in yoghurt, ginger, garlic and whole spices.

    12 hours
  2. 02

    Layer

    Half-cooked rice and meat go into the handi in alternating layers, with saffron on top.

    20 minutes
  3. 03

    Seal

    The lid is sealed with dough so every breath of steam stays inside.

    5 minutes
  4. 04

    Dum

    A slow fire and no peeking. The pot breathes for 45 minutes until the rice turns fragrant.

    45 minutes
  5. 05

    Serve

    The lid comes off at your table, and the fragrance arrives first.

    Fresh, always
