A Cast Iron Dosa Tawa is a traditional, flat cooking pan specifically designed for making dosas, the popular South Indian thin pancakes made from rice and lentil batter. Made from high-quality cast iron, this tawa is perfect for achieving the crisp, golden texture that is characteristic of a well-cooked dosa. It is a staple in many South Asian kitchens and offers exceptional heat retention and even heat distribution, essential for perfect dosa preparation.

Features:

1. Material: The tawa is made from cast iron, which is known for its ability to retain heat for long periods. This allows for consistent cooking and ensures that the dosa cooks evenly on both sides.

2. Flat, Smooth Surface: The dosa tawa has a large, flat cooking surface that is smooth, providing ample space to spread the dosa batter evenly for a thin, crispy result.

3. Size: Typically available in sizes ranging from 26 cm in diameter, which offers plenty of space to make large dosas or multiple smaller ones. The larger surface area allows the dosa to spread evenly and cook uniformly.

4. Pre-Seasoned or Need for Seasoning: Many cast iron dosa tawas are pre-seasoned with oil to prevent rust and ensure a non-stick surface. However, they may need re-seasoning before the first use to enhance their non-stick properties and prevent sticking over time.
