While I was almost decided on getting the non-stick tawa for dosas but seeing the benefits of cast iron over non-stick made me to change my mind.
I need some suggestions as to which brand should I go for and the quality of the same.
I am looking for a flat tawa instead of a bordered ones at the edges to help in easy removing of dosas.
Are there any cons of getting a smaller than 12 inch/30cms tawa. Most of them on Amazon are 12inches ones.

Also how should we maintain it?

Forgot to update this thread... I have got a Meyer's cast iron tawa from a local store for ₹2600. Will season it and hopefully it will be ready by Saturday.

Never saw this thread before. brought heavy one from local road side guy for 350 during udaipur trip. normal big size tawa but little deeper from center. guy tested with his magnet.

turned black from silver after 4-5 chapatti rounds. didn't know this seasoning concept before. now its my tawa to go for all keto cooking.

Solimo Pre-Seasoned Cast Iron Dosa Tawa

I also ordered this, this week. Does not work well for omellete because egg liquid is less dense so it spreads out unevenly with two eggs. Next Dosa day is tuesday next week. Would see if Dosa works out better on this. However, I did end up making rotis on this. Works fine though you need to keep another burner on for fulaoing the fulka because you cannot really lift it up to do that lol.

Hmm.. No handle with this one? Not that we intend to lift it while cooking but it would have been better to give in case if we move it from one burner to other.
How much did it cost you?

Any good chef knife to recommend?
I am confused between cartini n Solimo.
inclined towards solimo due to sharpener combo.
