    Urlis ( ഉരുളി ) are cooking vessels used as cauldrons for food preparation in Kerala, South India. Also called uruli or charakku, these cauldrons were used in both Tamil & Malayali homes and could hold vast amounts of food. They were placed directly on the fire and wooden poles were inserted through the loop handles at each side to carry them.


    Traditionally they were always made from bronze, or bell metal using the lost wax process (cire perdue) and were made in Kerela. Each mold is destroyed during the casting process making each one unique.
