This is a serving dish which carries four different food items at a time and is useful to serve traditional Indian cuisine. This serving dish sometimes has four containers attached together and to a handle or has four removable bowls that fit into a stand fixed to a revolving base. The bowls sometimes have individual cover plates with slots to accommodate serving spoons.
This is used to hold and serve curries, chutneys, pickles, salads, daals etc. It is used less at homes and more at restaurants, weddings and other traditional functions.
This is usually made out of stainless steel. Their design and size vary widely as there are no standards laid out.
Apart from this multiple food serving dish, there are available bowls of various shapes and sizes for serving individual food items. Some of these have just a covering lid; some have more detailing like a handle incorporated into the serving bowl, covered by a lid with a lifting/opening detail. These are used mostly at homes to store individual items like curries, dals, rice, etc. to be placed in a dining space.
