In my chicken curry video, there were lots of questions about the pot I'm cooking in. Here it is. It's a very traditional red clay pot from Sri Lanka. It's unglazed earthenware. There's a small village in the middle of the island called Molagoda where potters sell all their wares on either side of the main road (to Kandy), it's a sight to behold! I grew up hearing my parents and relatives talking nostalgically about cooking over fires in these clay pots and when I visited Sri Lanka for the first time as a teenager, I made my parents stop the van so I could buy some of these pots from the potters on the side of the road. The more these pots are used, the better they become. I've recently seen them in Tamil grocery stores in the suburbs of Toronto...

I am so happy you are introducing clay pots to more people. I have had a clay tagine for 15 years and it is my most treasured kitchen item. I would love to see a cleaning and maintaining clay pots video if you would be willing.

Now all you must do is post a recipe….probably the next best thing to having dinner with you Rajiv.
I am a collector of vintage linen napkins and tablecloths. I see you like them too, and then there are the boxes; all shapes and sizes from different countries (I keep my most precious things in them).
I do enjoy your channel, a young man with a very wise soul. Love from the South East of Ireland.

As a Mexican American I understand completely as we too, Mexicans, have stories of cooking in clay pots over the fire. It makes food taste so much better

I would love to get some clay pots as well! But I was told maintaining them can be really tough. Could you make a video of how you keep your clay pots clean and sturdy?! 🙏

Did you know it cuts the acidity in food. Tomato curries cooked in clay pots are milder tasting as the acidity is neutralised and is easy on your tummy because of it. Mind you, you can still taste the tomatoes.. but its pure tomato flavor.. and tastes super earthy. We use these in India as well, from states like Tamil Nadu, Karnataka, Kerala, Manipur, etc.. there are so many beautiful varities to choose from.. some vendors are doing a really good job with selling them through Instagram.

The Romans used terracotta pots called Römertopf and they are still in use. My mother had one and her chickendish was out of this world. She only used pepper, salt, some tomatoes and onions and, you guessed.. a chicken. I'm still searching for a Römertopf in thrift stores.

Eeeek, I soooo need those pots! I must visit Sri Lanka one day! I’ve been telling all my friends about your wonderful curry recipe!
Sri Lanka was my late niece’s favourite holiday destination. She loved the people so much. She used to financially support a Sri Lankan family and visited them every year from UK. Sadly, she passed away in 2016 but her little family in Sri Lanka will always remember her fondly. They had a small banner made in her memory and it was given to me 💔

Rajiv, in Brazil we also have clay pots that are fired in a open fire and when taken off the fire, they're hit with a bark from the mangroves which turns them black. The practice is believed to come from indigenous heritage, although today it's mostly done by afro-brazilians. It's used to cook traditional recipes with fish. If you'd like to take a look, search for 'paneleiras de goiabeiras'! :D
