Mastercook 23cm Aluminium Kadai Karahi Cooking Pan with Lid

23cm Aluminium Kadai with Lid for Everyday Cooking

Bring a traditional cookware shape to your kitchen with this 23cm aluminium kadai with lid. Also known as a karahi or karai, this round cooking pan features curved sides, two loop handles and a matching metal lid. Its compact size makes it a practical choice for everyday cooking, whether you are preparing a vegetable dish, frying ingredients or making a smaller batch of your favourite karahi recipe.

The silver-coloured aluminium body gives the pan a classic appearance that suits both traditional and modern kitchens. Aluminium conducts heat readily, while the open bowl shape provides space for stirring and turning ingredients during cooking. The included lid gives you the option of covering the pan when your recipe requires it.

Traditional Kadai, Karahi and Karai Cooking

A kadai is a familiar piece of cookware in South Asian kitchens, valued for its rounded shape and versatility. Whether you search for an aluminium kadai, a karahi pan or a traditional karai with lid, this 23cm pan offers a straightforward option for preparing a variety of home-cooked dishes.

Use it for cooking onions and spices, preparing vegetable dishes, making bhuna-style recipes or shallow-frying suitable ingredients. The curved sides allow you to bring ingredients back towards the centre as you stir, making the pan useful for recipes that involve regular mixing and turning.

Matching Lid Included

The kadai comes with a matching metal lid featuring a raised handle. Cover the pan when your recipe calls for covered cooking, then remove the lid for stirring, checking progress or allowing excess moisture to evaporate. Having a lid included makes this pan a useful option for recipes that alternate between uncovered and covered cooking.

Twin Loop Handles

Two loop handles sit on opposite sides of the pan, providing two holding points when positioning or moving it. The simple handle design complements the traditional kadai shape and silver finish. Metal handles and the lid handle can become hot during cooking, so use suitable oven gloves or heat protection when handling the pan.

Compact 23cm Size

With a stated diameter of 23cm, this aluminium cooking pan is a compact addition to your cookware collection. It is useful for smaller-batch cooking, side dishes and everyday kitchen tasks where a larger pan is unnecessary. Choose the pan size according to your recipe, allowing sufficient space for stirring and avoiding overfilling.
