India's culinary diversity is enormous, every state in India expresses a unique culinary variety in cuisine, recipes, cooking styles and implements. The South Indian Breakfast ladle collection is the first attempt of its kind in India to redefine nuances in regional cooking with a far greater attention to detail. The Ladles are designed with magnetically housed mini-implements such as a small oil spoon and a pick that are used continuously while cooking. The 'flushed' magnetic assembly of the mini implements allows for hindrance-free usage and additionally serves as a very easy way to store.
