Killi Basket

The world of spices and herbs has a colorful heritage which includes several interesting little contraptions and devices that can rightly be called objets d’art.

Cloves, for instance, were from ancient times an integral part of an Ayurvedic healer’s repertoire and very popular in the kitchens of India, prized for their antiseptic, antimicrobial and anesthetic properties and extremely good for dental hygiene. But spices like cloves were also very expensive, and carefully and zealously preserved, almost guarded we could say, like with this clove preserver featured here. Some of these clove preservers, made of wrought iron, go back to almost 3000 years.

The clove basket shown here is close to 400 years old. Also called a killi basket (killi means little bird), for the bird figurine on the top, this one also has an interesting little latch to secure its precious contents. How important those cloves must have been!

Testimonials

I feel like I am constantly cradled in a tasty part of my life called AUM Cuisine, people should eat like this everyday

- Amritha

What I love about AUMcuisine is the overall sense of being restored to a healthy and happy balance on an ongoing basis. Every day and every meal.

The food is mind bogglingly creative, its variety and range quite astonishing. Every meal springs a new revelation, taking me on a little bit of a global excursion to discover new flavors.

Also, I can now practically see how everyday nutrition can be both truly healthy and consistently delicious.

Thanks to this happy convergence, I can almost see how my relationship with food and nutrition is changing, and quite deeply at that. Thank you so much Vaidya Priyanka for enabling this change.

I love Vaidyaji’s AUM Cuisine. It is like eating from the hands of your mother with all the knowledge from an ancient lineage.
