Casserole (handi)

A casserole, often referred to as a “handi,” is a versatile and popular dish in many cuisines around the world. It typically consists of a variety of ingredients, such as vegetables, meat, poultry, or fish, combined in a single pot or deep, wide, and oven-safe cooking dish. The term “handi” is commonly used in South Asian cooking, especially in India and Pakistan, where it signifies a traditional clay or metal cooking vessel with a wide base and shallow depth.
