About this kalash cookie cutter
The kalash – a pot topped with mango leaves and a coconut – sits at the centre of the Lakshmi puja. This cutter keeps the whole arrangement in one outline: a round pot, a narrow neck and wide rim, two mango leaves curling out to the sides and an oval coconut on top. At the default 90 mm it is about 90 mm tall and 68 mm wide.
The pot is the widest and heaviest part, so it bakes a little slower than the leaves. Roll the dough evenly (5–6 mm) and bake on the middle shelf so the leaf tips do not over-brown. Each leaf ends in a point; at 70 mm and below, raise Smoothing a little so the tips stay attached.
Decorate in layers: flood the pot in yellow and brush it with gold or copper lustre once dry, pipe the leaves in two greens, then pipe a row of red kumkum dots around the belly of the pot. A kalash cookie makes a thoughtful topper for a box of homemade sweets.
Size guide
The Size setting is the cookie’s longest side. This is how big the kalash cookie comes out at a few common sizes – the generator shows the exact numbers for any size from 30 to 200 mm.
| Size setting | Cookie (width × height) | Blade | Good for |
|---|---|---|---|
| 60 mm | 45 × 60 mm | 1.0 mm | Bite-size cookies, cupcake and drink toppers |
| 90 mm | 68 × 90 mm | 1.0 mm | Default – a standard cookie, fits most gift boxes |
| 120 mm | 91 × 120 mm | 1.0 mm | Large gift cookies and centrepieces |
Decorating idea
Flood the pot in gold or copper, the leaves in green and pipe red kumkum dots around the pot.
