What were the 'Handis' Baba used and what was their significance?

📖 Chapter 38

Sai Baba used two types of cooking pots, or 'Handis', to prepare food and feed the hungry. According to Chapter 38, there was a small Handi, which held enough food for fifty people, and a large Handi, from which a hundred people could dine with food still left over. After cooking various dishes like savory foods, flatbreads ("Pole"), and gruel ("Ambil"), Baba would bring the Handi into the Masjid. The food would be consecrated and then distributed. Baba found great joy and contentment in personally serving from these Handis to satisfy the poor and the weak, making the Handis a central element of his service.
