Ways to use iron kadhai

*Never add lemon juice or anything citric or acidic when cooking in an iron vessel as it may add a metallic flavour to the final product.

*Once the food is prepared in an iron vessel, never let it sit in it. Immediately transfer it to a bowl. This helps in preventing the food from turning black.

Seasoning iron tawa

“It is very important to season iron tawa as the batter will stick on an unseasoned tawa,” the chef said.

*Dip an onion half in oil and apply it over the tawa. Let it heat up. The tawa is now seasoned.

*You could also use a muslin cloth instead of onion. Apply the oil over the iron tawa using muslin oil and let the tawa heat up.
