Wooden Mortar and Pestle No. 5 Traditional Khalbatta

Bring a traditional touch to everyday food preparation with this wooden mortar and pestle No. 5. Also known as a khalbatta, this two-piece kitchen tool gives you a hands-on way to crush garlic, work fresh herbs and prepare small quantities of spices for your favourite recipes. The wooden bowl and matching pestle make it easy to work ingredients together while keeping control over their texture.

Prepare Ingredients Your Way

Whether you are starting a homemade curry, preparing a garlic and herb mixture or crushing spices for a marinade, a mortar and pestle lets you work in small batches. Use gentle pressure and a circular grinding motion to combine ingredients, or a controlled pounding action to break them down. Stop at a coarse texture or continue working the mixture to suit the dish you are making.

This manual preparation method needs no electricity, making the set a straightforward addition to your kitchen tools. It is particularly useful when you want to prepare a little seasoning without bringing out an electric appliance.

Traditional Wooden Design

The mortar features a rounded bowl shape, a thick rim, turned detailing and a circular footed base. Its warm golden-brown appearance and visible wood grain give it a traditional look that sits naturally alongside other wooden kitchen utensils. The elongated pestle has a narrower handle and a broader rounded working end for crushing and mixing inside the bowl.
