A brass lagan is a traditional, wide, and shallow cooking vessel made of brass, commonly used in Indian kitchens. It is ideal for cooking large quantities of food, such as curries, stews, and biryanis, due to its ability to distribute heat evenly. The brass material adds a rustic, elegant touch and is known for its durability. The lagan often features two handles for easy handling. Regular polishing is required to maintain its shine and prevent tarnishing.
