Butti -Hand made Cane Basket

                Butti-Hand made Cane Basket

Hand made Cane Basket-we call it Butti in Marathi . Rotis/Bhakris/Parathas become very soggy if stored immediately after making, in closed containers. We use this Butti ,(from the local flea market) to let off some steam from Rotis/Bhakris/Parathas and then store them.

Do you use similar baskets or do you know any other name in your language for this basket?….Please share it with everyone!

    In my country, people use cane baskets but the shapes are different from your picture. They use the baskets to keep spice or dried food or dried chilli. Thanks for sharing this! 🙂
