I am very choosy when it comes to product reviews. I don’t accept or recommend products that I don’t use or consider unhealthy. But when EN PAN (EN INNOVATIONS) approached me to review their cast iron dosa tawa, I immediately accepted it, not only because I am a dosa lover but also because I love cooking in cast iron pans as they are healthy.
First let me introduce EN PAN
EN PAN products range from Traditional Irumbu chatti, Designer dosa kal, Designer Kadai, Cast Iron Appam chatti and exclusive hot plate all made from HIGH QUALITY CAST IRON.
Their products are hand seasoned with lot of attention to details, so you do not have to worry about seasoning.
Their Cast Iron Pans and Kadais are seasoned, safe and healthy to cook on. They are easy to use and get better with age.
They sell their products through their website https://www.dosakal.com/
Cooking in Cast iron Cookware
My experience with En Pan Cast iron cookware
I even made aloo parathas in the same tawa and needless to say it came out so well.
Their pans can be used on Gas stove, Induction or Electric hot plate. That’s an added advantage.
When it comes to taste, dosa tastes great in cast iron tawa than in non stick tawas.
The price of the product is also reasonable for the quality of product.
The product comes with an instruction care. They make sure that you have a good experience with their product.
This small iron kadai is also from EN PAN. Picture shows crispy potato fry in their cast iron kadai. The kadai is also very good and I loved it.
After use – You can wipe it clean with a damp cloth after use and store it. You do not have to wash it every time you use. When washing, use a mild liquid soap with sponge, immediately after washing wipe it dry with a towel and put it on stove for few seconds on low heat for the moisture to evaporate. When warm, apply a thin layer of oil, wipe off excess with a clean cloth. Then store it in a dry and airy place. In this way it will never rust.
I recommend EN PAN cast iron cookware. It is a must have in every kitchen. I am very much happy and satisfied with the dosa tawa and kadai and can assure you that you will not be disappointed. You can get it from their website https://www.dosakal.com/
Can we hold the handles while cooking?
No, you cannot.
where are these items available in Chennai or online
I have given the link sir – the last line. Also in the introduction of EN PAN I have given their website link.
while using first time how to clean it and use it
Just wash it with water and mild liquid soap using sponge. Apply oil and start making dosas. It is already seasoned.
Good info
Through web site did not information how to purchase online. Please give the online details
I have given their website url in intro and last line in the review above. Go to their site and purchase what you need.
Does it take more Oil than other tawa
Does it consume more Oil? Have you tried making sour dosa or rava dosa with this? If yes please share your experience.
Initially you may have to add more oil. After that you add oil as you regularly do. I tried uthappam, plain dosa, paratha. Yet to try rava dosa.
Is this Kal is flat and whether we can able to make rava dosa?
Is it OK to make dosas and chapati /roti, in the same pan? My mom always insists that I use separate pans. Any specific reason why we should use separate pans?
Even I have separate tawas but in this tawa I made parathas and dosas also.
Hi Padhu,
Thank you for this post on EnPan. Pretty informative. Also encourages us to move away from using non-stick tava and kadais
Wanted to check abt one thing related to cooking in iron kadai.
Some of the vegetables like okra, brinjal and a few others tend to become blackish and lose their original colour when we cook in iron kadais. Do you have any valuable tips to avoid the same? Appreciate your response.
Also wanted to add that I am a big fan of your blog as well as YouTube channel. Whenever I decide to try out a new item, I visit your blog and use your recipe for the same. Have always been successful in trying out new items adopting your detailed recipes with step by step pictures. Thanks much and wish you all the very best in all your future endeavours
Best regards, Padmini
Hi there,
A question your way. Can this tawa be used on an induction stove? Also, thank you for taking the time to do such detailed reviews and recipes with pictures.
Yes, it can be used on induction stove.
Dear..Right now AI am using Stone material tava for dosa and its fine.
But by looking at your review wanted to buy a Iron Tawa and hence checked website.
They are charging 200 for shipping which is not friendly to our pocket
As per your suggestion I bought en pan dosa tawa. It was worth a penny, eventhough they put 200 shipping charges, thank you for the suggestion.
Glad you liked it. I don’t recommend products which I don’t like or use. It is a lifetime investment.
Bought the designer dosaikkal after seeing your post. I live in London and have tried several types of dosaikkals. But agree with you, it’s lovely and the dosais are amazing.
How to buy dosaikal from you? I am in pondicherry. Pls send the details sir.
How many days for shipping?
Contact the seller.
I booked 4 items from this website and unfortunately, they took forever to arrive despite the fact that they take 700rs for shipping. I had to give them several calls and finally 2 items were shipped. I understand that it can be delayed due to Corona etc but the seller should keep us updated on what is happening rather than we chasing them. I have tried my best to be patient with them as they kept saying they were sick for a whole month and they promised to ship in 2 days but it never arrived.. I don’t think I will recommend buying from here.
Product is very good. I think you must understand their situation also but they could have keep you updated.
I ordered 3 pan with them, it’s been almost one month no response from the seller, no one is picking the calls nor replying to my messages. Now i am not sure whether i will receive my products. Zero customer support.
They are reliable only. You can message them again. I have got tawa, kadai etc from them.
Can we use the cast iron kadai for making brinjal or tomato curry or anything with water? Generally such items turn black. Can you pl give yr feedback on this point?
Avoid using cast iron for anything with lemon, tomato and turmeric. You can make brinjal or any other curry but transfer to another container it after making it.
I bought an cast iron tawa before two years for past 1 year dosa came very well but every time when try with new dosa flour it’s not coming did tawa completely gone or still we can do any seasoning am in abroad so can’t buy new one as price is too much high
