Uruli (also called Urli) is a traditional circular vessel, not deep enough, that has its origin in South India, particularly the beautiful green state of Kerala. It's interesting to know the past behind Uruli that is linked to Sangam Literature and Chola Dynasty. Historically in the 3rd Century BCE during the Sangam Literature period, it was used for large-scale cooking in temples, Sadya ( big feasts) and joint family kitchens to prepare curries, payasam, or lentils. At that time the material used was clay which later between 9-13th century CE at the time of Chola Dynasty had evolved into copper, bronze and brass.
It was considered an important element in rituals and festivals. At the time of the Malayalam New Year (also called Vishu) it was filled with auspicious items and water to create the display of Vishu Kani.
