Which tawa is better for dosas, iron or non-stick?

Cast iron tawas like the Solara 29 cm build a natural non-stick layer over time and hold heat well for thin, crisp dosas, while non-stick options like Wonderchef Tivoli or Bombay Kookware need less seasoning and are easier to clean

Is there a tawa specifically for rotis?

Yes, the Jensons Pre-Seasoned Iron Roti Tawa and BAY6 Nonstick Concave Roti Tawa are both sized at 25 cm and made for roti and paratha

Do any of these tawas work on induction stoves?

The Wonderchef Tivoli Dosa Tawa and the Bombay Kookware 25.5 cm Dosa Tawa are listed as induction compatible

What sizes are the dosa tawas available in?

Dosa tawas range from 24 cm (Bombay Kookware) up to 29 cm (Solara cast iron), with 25.5 cm, 26 cm, 27 cm and 28 cm sizes also available across brands

Does a pre-seasoned iron tawa need seasoning before first use?

Jensons' iron tawas are labelled pre-seasoned, meaning they arrive ready to use, though iron cookware generally benefits from a light oil coating over repeated use

Roti, Dosa & Chapati Tawas Online

For rotis and chapatis there is the Jensons Pre-Seasoned Iron Roti Tawa (25 cm) and BAY6 Nonstick Concave Roti Tawa (25 cm). For dosas, options include the Bombay Kookware Non-Stick Dosa Tawa (24 cm, 25.5 cm and 26 cm), Solara Pre-Seasoned Cast Iron Dosa Tawa (29 cm), Wonderchef Tivoli Non-Stick Dosa Tawa (28 cm), Hawkins Futura Hard Anodised and Non-Stick Dosa Tavas (28 cm), and Jensons Iron Dosa Tawa (27 cm).

Iron and cast iron tawas need seasoning but build up a natural non-stick surface over time and retain heat well, which suits thin, crisp dosas. Non-stick and hard anodised tawas need less maintenance and are easier for daily roti-making, while induction-compatible models like the Wonderchef Tivoli and some Bombay Kookware tawas work on both gas and induction stoves.
