A flat brass tray with a rim used to make unleavened bread is a staple in most Indian kitchens. The functional characteristics of the vessel includes a diameter modulated by the typical quantity of dough utilized by an average family over a course of a day. The rim of the utensil is curved and angulated to enable circular motion facilitating proper kneading - and the angle of the sides are in a perfect angle to enable maximum force when the dough is pushed under and over. The paraat also serves as a platter or tray for a range of objects - from lumps of jaggery to earthen lamps for festivals.
