What is a Kadai / Karahi?
A kadai (also spelled kadhai, karahi, or karai) is a traditional South Asian cooking vessel with a wide, deep, rounded bowl shape and two handles. It is one of the most versatile and widely used pieces of cookware in Indian, Pakistani, and Bangladeshi cooking. The shape is specifically designed for deep frying — the curved sides mean less oil is needed to achieve the depth required for frying, and food can be easily turned and moved. The same shape is also ideal for cooking dry curries (karahi dishes), stir frying, and making sweets. If you cook South Asian food regularly, a kadai is an essential piece of kitchen equipment.
