A small, heavy bronze tadka pan with a long flat handle — built for one job and built to do it well. Heat the oil, drop in mustard seeds, curry leaves and dry chillies, and pour the sizzling tempering straight over your dal, sambar or chutney.

Bronze holds heat evenly, so spices crackle and bloom rather than scorch. The long handle keeps your hand well clear of the flame, and the bend at the end gives you a steady grip when pouring.

Key Features:

• Cast bronze body with a turned, ribbed exterior
• Long flat handle with a bent grip — keeps hands away from the flame
• Even heat for tempering without burning spices
• Compact size, ideal for tadka, ghee and small portions
• Handcrafted by traditional metalworkers

Care: Wash with mild soap and water and dry immediately. Clean the exterior with tamarind or lemon and salt to restore the shine. Do not leave sour food standing in the pan.
