A mortar and pestle is a tool used to crush, grind, pound and mix substances. This solid granite mortar and pestle is an important tool in Asians kitchen.
I remember when I was a little girl, I used to help my grandmother to pound chillies ingredients for making curry chicken, laska and sambal chillies. For now, I only use it to pound smaller quantity of ingredients…..my sweet memories with my grandmother in the kitchen in my younger day… 🙂
