A Complete Guide to Aura Farmers Tableware
Every product we make, what it is built for, and how to pick the right one for your event, canteen, or home. A plain-English catalog walkthrough.
This guide helps you choose from the current Aura Farmers catalog. Check the product page for current specifications before ordering.
Aura Farmers lists rice husk and rice bran as the material. The catalog lists a 12-month shelf life for unused products kept dry. Ask us for current food-contact documentation if your purchase requires it. Composting depends on the conditions and collection route.
Plates
Three sizes. Same material. The choice is about what is going on the plate.
7-inch plate. Snack and starter plate. Best for samosas, chaat, dry snacks, tikkis — foods where moisture stays in the food, not on the plate. If you are running a tea-break station at a corporate event or a pav-bhaji counter at a wedding, this is the size.
10-inch plate. The workhorse. A full-meal plate that holds up under gravy-heavy menus. This is the plate most event caterers order in the largest volumes. It fits a standard Indian dal-rice-two-sabzi-roti meal without feeling cramped.
12-inch plate. Thali and banquet plate. Use this when you are serving a full thali with separate compartments (bowls on the plate) or a buffet where guests are loading their own plates. The extra diameter matters when food is being placed, not served.
Wrong-plate failure modes: ordering 7-inch when the menu has gravy (food slides off the rim into the guest’s lap). Ordering 10-inch for a thali service (not enough space for the bowls). Ordering 12-inch for a snack counter (guests take more than they eat and waste goes up).
Bowls
180 ML bowl. Our standard bowl — sized for chutneys, dry snacks, and semi-solid sides like raita or sambar. Works well in thali setups and as a standalone snack bowl.
The 180 ml bowl is the only bowl in the current online catalog. Test it with your usual serving size before ordering in volume.
Cups
120 ML cup. Chai and espresso-sized. For single-serve hot drinks where the guest will finish the cup within a few minutes. Do not use this for cold drinks that sit.
250 ML cup. Standard tea/coffee cup, also suitable for short-duration cold beverages. Same caveat as the 120 ML — the material is not designed for extended contact with liquid.
Important caveat on all cups. The cups are water resistant, not waterproof. Try them with your usual drink, fill level and serving time. We do not have a verified universal time or temperature limit to publish here.
Cutlery
13 cm spoon. Our only cutlery product right now. Firm enough for rice and semi-solid foods, not recommended for sawing through hard items. Works well paired with the 10-inch plate for rice-and-dal service.
Combo sets
Dinner combo set. The catalog lists a 10-inch plate, 180 ml bowl and 250 ml cup. This is a separate product from the seven-item sample kit. Confirm the current pack configuration in your quote.
How to pick a pack size
Pack sizes vary by product. For a single event, multiply expected servings by the items needed for each course, then check the relevant product pages and the written quote.
If you are uncertain about quantities for your specific use case, a WhatsApp conversation will save you time. Institutional orders often have specific pack configurations that benefit from a direct conversation rather than a generic quantity calculator.
