In Indian kitchen's Degh, a traditional cooking vessel, has a special position. Typically crafted in heavy thick metal, the degh allows for retention of heat which makes it a great vessel for slow cooking.
This is a special pot that is usually used for cooking rich food preparations such as biryani, pulao, and even traditional dessert(s) like kheer.
The way a degh is crafted is such that it retains the flavours and thus makes a dish taste better than if used in modern cooking utensils.
In addition to practical use, a degh is symbolically very important too. Akara is often prepared for community events, when large amounts of food are required for a celebratory, festival or feast.
