Heating Milk in Clay Pots

Fresh Milk Collection

Carefully collected fresh milk is poured into Bikaner’s premium clay pots, globally recognized for their superior quality.

Clay Pot Conditioning

Each pot is soaked for 10 days and coated with a fine layer of clay to enhance durability and ensure even heat distribution.

Slow Heating with Iron Enrichment

The milk is gently heated on a low flame with a small piece of iron immersed, naturally enriching the milk with iron while preserving its nutritional profile.

Natural Aroma & Purity

Clay-pot heating infuses the milk with a distinct earthy aroma and prevents any chemical interaction, keeping it pure and authentic.

Handmade Wooden Churner

Dahi is churned using a traditional wooden churner (Madhani/Jherniya), crafted from sacred woods like neem, kair, chandan, or babul.

Clockwise & Anti-Clockwise Motion

The churning is done in both directions – clockwise and anti-clockwise – to naturally separate butter (makhan) from buttermilk (chaas).
