Mastercook 20cm Aluminium Kadai Karahi Cooking Pan with Lid
20cm Aluminium Kadai Karahi with Lid
Bring traditional cookware into your everyday kitchen with this 20cm aluminium kadai with lid. Also known as a karahi or karai, this compact cooking pan features a wide opening, curved sides and two loop handles. Its familiar bowl-shaped design makes it a practical choice for preparing smaller batches of food, from spiced vegetables and dry curries to shallow-fried snacks.
The silver aluminium finish gives the pan a classic appearance, while the matching metal lid offers the option of covered cooking. Whether you are softening onions, turning vegetables through fragrant spices or finishing a dish before serving, this kadai provides a straightforward addition to your cookware collection.
Compact Size for Everyday Cooking
The 20cm diameter makes this kadai a useful option when you do not need a larger cooking pan. Use it for a side dish, a smaller recipe or a batch of snacks, choosing quantities to suit the pan and leaving adequate space for stirring. The curved sides help keep ingredients together as you turn and mix them during cooking.
Matching Lid and Twin Loop Handles
A matching aluminium lid is included for recipes that call for covered cooking. The raised lid handle allows you to lift the lid using suitable heat protection, and the two side handles provide holding points on either side of the pan. Metal handles can become hot during use, so always use oven gloves or suitable pan holders when handling hot cookware.
A Traditional Pan for a Variety of Recipes
This aluminium karahi can be used for everyday recipe preparation, including sautéed onions, spiced vegetables, dry-style curries and shallow frying. It is also a useful shape for small-batch snacks such as pakoras and samosas when used with an appropriate quantity of oil and a suitable recipe. For frying, never overfill the pan, keep moisture away from hot oil and do not leave it unattended.
Its compact format suits kitchens where a smaller kadai is preferred alongside larger pots and pans. From preparing a vegetable accompaniment to cooking a small curry, it offers a familiar traditional shape without unnecessary extras.
