The Indus Valley Super Smooth Cast Iron Tawa for Dosa/Chapathi | 30.4cm/12 inch, 2.3kg | Induction Friendly | Naturally Nonstick, Pre-Seasoned Tawa, 100% Pure & Toxin-Free

This item is not like your regular nonstick tawa. This is cast iron. Heavy and brittle. It takes some effort to get going with it. First .. see YouTube videos how to clean and season a new tawa.. you cannot directly use it on day 1 . It needs to rest in oil for a day . Season it well .. fry onions on it first .. Use it regularly to get best results. Points to note 1. Again, it's not ready to use you should clean it well .. scrub well for almost 10 mins. Wipe dry . Don't use news paper to wipe on tawa .. 2. You should use it low to medium flame .. High flame is not advised and won't do good to your food. Yes it takes slightly longer to cook on this tawa ... But you know what comes fast doesn't last long .. 3. When in doubt ask and look it up on the internet. There is solution for everything. Dosa getting stuck on this tawa could be because the batter is too cold or tawa is too hot. Use at medium temperature and with diligence.

Have been trying to season it and use it since 4 months not at all working any method. Worst to buy. I would not able to use it also don't want to throw it because of price. Never expected this. Have to give one star as I can't give review if possible I will give 0 rating.

Tawa should be big in diameter, reliable product.

Purchased this as iron based tawa is more healthy than the teflon coated ones (which are supposed to be dangerous for your health). It is heavy! The first few attempts to make dosa on this tawa led to frustration. But after putting vegetable oil, heating it … letting it cool and repeating the process for quiet sometime the tawa is working fine now. You have to be really patient and give it time. Especially during the seasoning process if you wash it quiet a bit, it will take a long time. On the gas stove , heat distribution was not uniform. You got to let it heat up to an optimal level all across , the reduce the flame to get it to work! Last but not the least, once you get it to work you will find that the dosas are more crispy and tasty 😊

Heat distribution is not even, the central part of dosas even at low flame is getting charred. The product price could be reduced.

We struggled to make good dosa in many previous tavas, including non stick tavas which have hazards if improperly used... We came to conclusion for this struggle with this Iron dosa tava, it's weight is more, looks durable, no need seasoning... directly shall make dosa over it. I love it. ❤️ little maintenance needed, we need to apply oil over surfaces if it is not used to prevent rusting of iron.

Just the right tawa you would need for making those low oil, crispy dosa Great evenly distribution of heat, very easy to clean, right weight and size. Only one word of caution. Since it is made of cast iron, just ensure that if you are not using it regularly, you should keep it away from dust and moisture that it doesn't rust.

Worst purchase from Amazon till today. The product doesn't fit to any of the claims made by the company. Can't make a single dosa on it. Everything just sticks on it. Worst product of this category. Go for a local one which will not claim tall but will deliver.
