The Tava is a flat cast iron skillet used to cook the following
Indian dishes:
• Chapattis
• sorghum roti
• dosa
• ponganalu
• utappam
The flat pan sometimes has a slight edge to them to hold the
batter inside. These are very useful in cooking chapattis. Tava
with round bottoms are used to prepare jonna rotte. Then there’s
the thick bottomed tava that is used to prepare dosa, utappam,
and pesarattu. This tava is also known as a griddle. So, you get
the idea on what all you can use this little pan for, the recipes
are endless. In many Indian cultures you can see their pots and
pans sitting by the fire, all well seasoned of course, and they
know exactly what each one is used for what. To have a collection
of Indian cookware would be invaluable.
