The dough is placed inside the cylindrical container and pressed using the rotating handle at the top. The dough passes through the holes in the bottom plate, forming the desired shape.

The three-legged stand provides stability and makes it easier to operate the press on a kitchen surface.

This traditional utensil is especially valued in Kerala households for preparing homemade snacks and delicacies.
