Brass paraat (parat), the wide, shallow dish used in Indian kitchens for kneading dough for roti, paratha and puri, part of a brass cookware range. This paraat has a round, flat base and low sloping walls that flare out to a broad rim, which keeps flour and dough inside while kneading. The polished gold-toned brass carries a hammered dimpled texture across the base and walls.
