Tax included. Shipping calculated at checkout.

The Aruvamanai (also called Arivalmanai) is a traditional South Indian cutting tool featuring a long, curved blade mounted on a sturdy platform designed to be secured by foot. With the sharp edge facing the user, both hands remain free to expertly guide and control a variety of ingredients—from delicate shrimp to hefty pumpkins—offering unmatched precision and ease.

This versatile tool is known by several regional names: Aruvamanai in Tamil, Kathipeeta in Telugu, and Vili or Morli in Marathi. Beyond South India, it has played a vital role in culinary traditions across India, including Panikhi in Odisha and Pirdai in Bihar.

For centuries, the Aruvamanai has been a cornerstone of Indian kitchens, cherished for its efficiency and craftsmanship, and passed down through generations as a symbol of traditional culinary wisdom and ingenuity.
