tawa
Flat roti surface
A tawa is a flat or slightly concave griddle used in South Asian cooking, typically for making flatbreads like roti, chapati, and paratha.
The pan is usually made of cast iron or carbon steel and sits directly over a flame.
Heat the tawa until water droplets sizzle on contact.
