Imagine the soft, wispy strands of idiyappam steaming on your plate, or the crunchy twist of fresh murukku straight from the fryer. This brass sev maker—also called a nazhi or string hopper press—lets you recreate those South Indian classics effortlessly in your own kitchen. Handcrafted by artisans, it's not just a tool; it's a piece of culinary heritage that turns simple dough into delightful dishes.
Cooking in brass isn't a trend—it's rooted in ancient wisdom. This metal helps pacify pitta, easing burning sensations and aggression, while naturally increasing hemoglobin levels and improving skin health. Unlike modern non-stick pans that might leach toxins, our indigeneously made brass sev maker is completely toxin-free. It's pre-seasoned, so you skip the wait and start pressing right away.
Load it with rice flour dough for delicate noolputtu or string hoppers, perfect with coconut chutney. Switch to spiced batter for crispy farsan sev or murukku during festivals. Even pasta lovers can experiment with finer discs for noodle shapes. The multiple perforated plates ensure uniform thickness, so no lumpy messes—just consistent results that taste like grandma's.
Before your first go, give it a quick wash with warm soapy water and a soft brush, then dry thoroughly. To press, fill the cylinder, screw on a plate, and squeeze over steam or hot oil. Cleanup is simple: mild soap, soft brush, and a wipe with a cotton cloth. Store it dry and clean to keep that brass shining for years. No harsh scrubs or dishwasher—gentle care preserves its patina and performance.
Picture weekend breakfasts with steaming idiyappam drizzled in ghee, or Diwali snack sessions where the house fills with frying aromas. It's ideal for anyone craving homemade South Indian snacks without the hassle of store-bought mixes. Friends will ask for your secret, and you'll smile knowing it's this trusty brass companion. Bring tradition, flavor, and wellness to your table—press by press.
