Dhoodh Patila (Milk Vessel)

For generations, milk has held a sacred place in Indian kitchens. In ancient times, it was commonly boiled in brass vessels, a tradition rooted in both health and heritage. Boiling milk in brass wasn’t just cultural-it was intentional, aimed at preserving nutrition and enhancing shelf life.

The Yellow Metals brings this tradition into the modern kitchen with the Brass Patila—a handcrafted piece of cookware that celebrates Indian roots while supporting a healthier lifestyle. With its shining golden exterior and tin-coated silver interior, this Patila is not just functional’s a timeless addition to your kitchen. A Doodh Patila is far more versatile than its name suggests. While it’s traditionally used for boiling milk, it can also be used for preparing tea, hot chocolate, kadha, and even sterilising water. Its deep, rounded design makes it ideal for cooking everyday dishes like khichdi, dal, porridge, upma, pasta, noodles, and rice. It's equally perfect for making Indian sweets such as kheer, halwa, rabri, and basundi, or even boiling jaggery for chikkis. During festive occasions or poojas, it can be used to prepare panchamrit or sheera. Because of its excellent heat retention and nutrient-preserving properties-especially when made from tin-coated brass. Doodh Patila is also a great choice for boiling vegetables or preparing baby food. Whether for daily meals or special recipes, this traditional vessel is a multi-purpose essential in every kitchen.
