How to season new iron dosa tawa, How to season cast iron dosa tawa for first time use, Tips to maintain dosa tawa. This is a long time pending post, I had my dosa and chapathi tawa already seasoned and that is another reason too for the delay of this post.So when I got this new dosa tawa recently thought to season and click to post it here. First of all let me introduce my dosa and chapathi tawas.I have 2 dosa tawas and 1 chapathi tawa(the one with wooden handle).Of them one tawa is cast iron and other 2 are normal iron. From the days I started cooking I had no craze in buying nonstick pans even before I knew about its health hazards as I didn’t like the taste and texture of dosas /chapathis cooked in nonstick.The few ones I had were gifts/ free items that came with my induction.But I am crazy about collecting traditional cookwares these days so more seasoning posts coming up soon. 🙂 Trust me, a well seasoned iron tawa works better than nonstick and the crispy texture it gives is worth all the effort we put in. I was searching for a flat dosa tawa and happy to find it in a local shop here in Coimbatore years back. There are many different ways to season iron tawa.The tips and tricks I have given here can be used for any unseasoned iron utensils either kadai or pan or tawa.You can use these steps to re-season an old iron tawa too. I have given both how to season iron dosa tawa for first time use and how to maintain it regularly. Tips:
It is always better to have separate tawa for dosa and chapathi. Do not let water stay on the tawa for a long time after washing.Either heat it up or wipe with dry cloth. A layer of oil on the tawa avoids rusting so while storing always brush with oil and keep.If you can heat it for few mins then store its best.But I do the heating only once in 15 days not on a daily basis. Always rinse it with water everyday as there are chances for insects to sit on them.Once washed wipe with a cloth then heat and start using it.

Pin Chapathi Tawa I use regularly which is also almost 4 yrs old.I bought it from a local whole sale shop and it costed 100Rs.I find online and even shops expensive so look out for local whole sale shops where it is damn cheap and no compromise in quality also.
