Among the dishes which are commonly cooked in urlis are payasam and ghee rice, and they are still used today during celebratory occasions. Because of the same reasons noted down previously, urlis are utilized in the production of Ayurvedic medicines in addition to cooking food. These urlis are employed to concoct therapeutic oils as well as other herbal formulations, that are then permitted to soak there for a lengthy period of time. The urli's broad range of possibilities makes it only logical that it should be connected to prosperity and pleasure.
