Dear Priya, you do not need stainless vessels from India.
I have a pot which I bought in "Bed Bath And Beyond"
I can cook 2 cups of rice in that pot.
The brand name is "Cuisinart"
The cover has holes and you just need to hold the pot handle and cover tightly.
You can drain it in your sink, very easy.
You can see the picture of the pot, why take in unnecessary carbs.
Glad that you are making fresh ginger and garlic paste.
You can smash the garlic if a recipe needs, smashed garlic.
I also pound the ingredients for rasam in this motar.
Thanks and take care, Meerra
