Important Information

Cooking in a karahi
Deep, rounded sides keep oil and sauce in the pan while you stir, which is why a karahi suits curries, frying onions and spices, and shallow-frying pakoras. Heat the oil first, then add whole spices to release their aroma. The iron karahi brings that traditional style to everyday cooking.
Recipe ideas
Try chicken or lamb karahi with tomatoes, green chillies and ginger, a mixed vegetable stir-fry, or bhindi masala. Dishes can go from the stove to the table, so serving is simple with the iron karahi.
Washing up
Let the pan cool before washing, soak any stuck-on food in warm soapy water and use a soft sponge rather than a metal scourer. Dry it fully before storing. Washed like this, the iron karahi stays in good condition.
Who it is for
Cookware like the iron karahi suits families who cook South Asian food, restaurants and takeaways, and anyone who wants one deep pan for frying and curries. It also makes a useful gift for a new home.
Iron care
Dry the iron karahi straight after washing, ideally over a low heat, and wipe on a thin film of oil before putting it away. This keeps rust away from the black iron surface.
