28cm vs 32cm – Which Size to Choose?
Both sizes are from the same Mastercook Enamel Karai range with identical construction and coating. The 28cm is ideal for everyday family frying – a batch of samosas or pakoras for the family. The 32cm (this kadai) is the large celebration and batch frying size – the right choice when you’re frying for a gathering, an Eid party, or simply want to cook more in fewer batches. The extra 4cm of diameter makes a significant difference to how many samosas or pakoras you can fry at once, reducing the number of batches needed and getting food to the table faster.
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.
