Bowthi: More Than a Tool, It’s a Cultural Legacy

#thebetterindia

What’s that one tool your mother swears by in the kitchen? In Bengal, chances are—it’s the Bowthi.

This curved blade, mounted on wood, is a staple in Bengali households. Whether it’s slicing fish, chopping vegetables, or grating coconut, the Bowthi does it all—with speed, skill, and a touch of nostalgia. Generations of women have mastered it, often sitting on the floor, turning everyday cooking into an art form.

It’s not just a kitchen tool—it’s a part of growing up, a symbol of tradition, and a reminder of home-cooked meals made with love and precision.

Does your family still use the Bowthi? Or did you grow up watching it in action?
