CHAUKA BELNA

Chauka Belna is a traditional kitchen tool consisting of a wooden rolling board (Chauka) and a rolling pin (Belna). It is used in almost every Nepali household to roll out dough for making bread like roti, puri, and chapati. The Chauka is typically made of wood or stone, while the Belna is a cylindrical wooden pin that is rolled back and forth over the dough. In Nepali culture, the act of making fresh roti using a Chauka Belna is seen as a sign of homemade comfort and care. Many families still prefer hand-rolled roti over machine-made alternatives, valuing the traditional cooking process.
