What is Tadka Pan?

A tadka pan, also known as a tempering pan, is a versatile cooking ware used to make a variety of Indian dishes. It is a type of shallow pan with or without a lid, usually made of cast iron, iron or stainless steel. The tadka pan mostly has a long handle that makes it easy to hold. 

How To Use Tadka Pan?

Tadka pans are used to make a variety of dishes, from curries and dals to sautéed vegetables and even desserts. The key to using a tadka pan is to start by heating oil, butter, or ghee (clarified butter) in the pan. Once the oil is heated, other ingredients such as spices, seasonings, and aromatics are added to the pan. These ingredients are then cooked until fragrant and the oil has absorbed their flavours.

Once the ingredients have been cooked and the oil has absorbed their flavours, the tadka pan is then used to add in the main ingredients to the dish, such as vegetables, proteins, and legumes. These ingredients are cooked in the hot oil until they are cooked through.
