Thank you very much. I followed the process of salt,oil,turmeric and frying onion with oil. The result is awesome. Never had such dosas at home like that. Thank you and amazon solimo tawa for having such beautiful dosa. 👍
Plenty of wrong information here. I'm surprised and disappointed that one of my favorite chef is giving out so much of misinformation. Probably too much of social media effect. Anyway, for people reading this, DO NOT soak any cast iron utensils in water. Many years ago someone suggested this method and our tawa went bad quickly. It's a sure shot way to start rusting and getting rid of it and re-seasoning is a very painful process. The starch method is used to season clay utensils and definitely not cast iron. Below are the right steps to do it correctly. It is a long process but ensures that your tawa will last for a very long time. 1. The tawa needs to be washed to get rid of dirt though the company has it pre-seasoned. Once it's washed, DRY IT IMMEDIATELY by wiping it with a dry cloth. Next, place it on the stove with the flame on for few minutes to completely ensure that the water has completely evaporated. Take it off the stove and let it cool down and ensure that water doesn't touch it again. 2. Now, take some tissue paper and coat the entire tawa with a thin coat of oil and give it a good rub. Next, take another dry tissue paper and rub any excess oil. This is very important, since if you don't do this properly, you'll have spots of oil and the coating will not be quite well. 3. Take the coated tawa and place on the stove with medium heat and once it's hot enough(this depends on the thickness of the tawa), put the flame on high for just 2 more minutes. Turn off the flame and then let the tawa cool down. Follow points 2 and 3 for at least 2 more times and you are sorted for a very long time. In case you start food sticking to it again, give it a good wash, DRY IT COMPLETELY and then follow the above points again. This is basically the re-seasoning process.

Hi @@hottroddinn Thanks for the detailed information. In market there are two types of cast iron tawas available: one with vegetable oil coating and another without. Which one is healthier? The one with vegetable oil coating mentions this -> "Pre-Seasoned with 100% Vegetable Oil and Naturally Nonstick"
@@ramakrishnavjoshi Even with pre-seasoned coating, you'll have to wash and clean the utensil first and then completely dry it using med. heat on the stove. Then, you'll have to season it again.(Covered this part in the first comment) Just go for the one which has the smoothest coating. It's only unhealthy when you don't clean it well and also try to use it with rust in it.
super super super helpful with full detailed video.... thank you so much..Man. i always share your recipe with my 'english ' speaking friends. who lives in out of India. love love love lots of love
Thank you so much for the much needed info on tempering the cast iron tawa the right way. How about guiding us tempering the stainless steel tawa or hard anodised or non stick tawa/pans.
Hello Thank you It was nice knowing different ways of tempering. Is there any other thing which can be replaced for onion on the last step at 11.15minutes shown, for those who don't eat or use any kind of under root vegetables like onion, garlic, potato, carrot, beetroot, etc ?
Tradition is not always correct. It's important to understand the science of how iron works in this instance. The soaking method most definitely won't work, the most important rule to follow regarding cast iron is to never soak it. It will rust! The salt method might smooth the tawa a bit but will not protect it from rust. Oil is the only thing that will polimerize to create a protective coating on the metal surface to prevent rust. Every time you cook with oil, it adds to the coating, and when the coat is thick enough, it becomes nonstick.
Brand really doesn't matter. Choose the size and decide how thick your tawa should be. Also, try to choose something which is as smooth as possible and ensure that there are no thick pores. The thickness of the tawa along with how you maintain pretty much decides on how long the tawa will last.
Why you made it more complicated..? Just wash it with soap and heat it after applying some oil cool it then do the same process 2 to 3 times..that’s it..come on man
Is tempering and seasoning the cast iron utensil the same thing? Also why the usual Iron Kadhai we use for milk based sweets is not black and why cast iron is black? Can we make milk based sweets in a cast iron Kadhai?
After my mom washed my tawa on purpose. I told her not to use soap. Just rinse it. She ruined it. Jealous women. Now I have to keep tempering it every now and then.
Wouldn't soaking cast iron in rice water or potato starch cause rusting of the pan? and could you please explain what the other methods of "tempering" are doing to help make the pan nonstick. Isn't applying a coat of oil and baking the pan sufficient?
No.heat tawa on high flame when tawa is hot lower the flame sprinkle water wipe it with a wet cloth.put batter on tawa and spread it.put the flame to high level when dosa batter is cooked well sprinkle oil on dosa and carefully turn it.every time follow same procedure.
After each dosa, do we need to brush the onion. Also, is Tempering Tawa one time process or you keep doing it each time you want to start making dosas or cook anything ? Can anybody please answer and help me with my questions. Thank you

@@priyatyagi4477 - If you are asking just to coat the tawa with oil, you get silicone brush for cooking. You can dip that in oil, remove excess oil by dabbing on the side of container and lightly rubbing it on the area where the dosa will be poured.

Is this whole process required to do every time we try to make dosas or cook anything on the cast iron tawa?
Tempering process is needed only once or occasionally, not every time you cook.

Is it works on induction gas?
Yes

Ok ok but tell how to make the next dosa..should we put oil around dosa or onion in oil smear???
Is tempering and seasoning the cast iron utensil the same thing?
Also why the usual Iron Kadhai we use for milk based sweets is not black and why cast iron is black?
Can we make milk based sweets in a cast iron Kadhai?
Good questions. Cast iron is black due to high carbon content in it. What milk based sweet were you looking to try on the cast iron?
Which brand tawa is this? Please recommend.
Ferrite castiron
This brand is not there in Amazon
It's Prestige Cast Iron Tawa
Indus valley

Do you wash seasoned/tempered tawa after each use or just wipe it clean? Thanks.

How long soaking in starch water ?
Is it necessary to season the tawa every time before cooking?
Not at all.
How long should we soak it in starch water?
Each & everytime should we have to do this process?Whenever we make dosa in morning 😮
No.heat tawa on high flame when tawa is hot lower the flame sprinkle water wipe it with a wet cloth.put batter on tawa and spread it.put the flame to high level when dosa batter is cooked well sprinkle oil on dosa and carefully turn it.every time follow same procedure.

Very explicit info
Rawa dosa is still getting sticky on pan… this is my third dosa in a new pan… should I give it more time?
You need to understand and regulate the temperature of the pan. Once you get the idea, then Rawa Dosa is fun to make in this.
Any suggestions for Jain people? We do not use Onions in our kitchen
👍
Sabse asan hai tava ko achhe se dhho kar sukhake dosa banane se pahle 1-2 parathe bana lo..
Some people are telling not to put water as it rusts...hmm what to do...???😢
Nothing will happen wash it with water w ipe it with dry cloth and smear tawa with oil.
I bought tava but my neer dosa sticks to my cast iron tawa everytime even after using oil and onion
For neer dosa batter should be nicely grinded then only dosa comes well
Thanks for the tips. The dosa texture is still not perfect.
How is the easy???? All these processes and ingredients to use. 🤔😳
I soaked the tawa in rice starch and it attracted rust 😢
Oh
You are making it very complex not clear at all
‘Temper’ here is a wrong word to use here 😅😅I think…
Right word would be “season”
Speak fast buddy… kitna bolta hain, you got a good message get to the point quickly no one has time for your easy rambling
