Brass Chakli Maker Food Press
A traditional brass chakli maker, also known as a sev sancha, designed to press dough into decorative forms for frying. Featuring a hand-crank mechanism and a set of interchangeable discs, each producing a different pattern, this piece reflects the craftsmanship of utilitarian kitchen tools made to last.
Used across South Asian kitchens for generations, tools like this were essential in preparing savory snacks such as chakli and sev. The solid brass construction and mechanical form give it a sculptural quality beyond its original purpose.
Equally compelling as a functional object or as part of a collected kitchen display, it brings depth and global context to a space layered with antique and vintage wares.
