Walton Cast Iron Roti Tawa (24cm)

The Walton Cast Iron Roti Tawa is a 24 cm tawa cast in gray iron and pre-seasoned with edible soyabean oil. It is the heavy, uncoated kind of tawa that makes roti puff up evenly and gives paratha a crisp, golden finish, and it works on gas, infrared, electric and induction cookers.

Why cast iron makes a better roti tawa

A thin pan cools down every time a cold roti lands on it, so the first few come out patchy. At around 2 kg, this cast iron tawa stores enough heat to stay steady roti after roti. There is no non-stick coating to scratch or peel; instead, the seasoning gets better with use as oil bakes into the surface. On Walton's own site it is listed as the Cast Iron Ruti Tawa, so the Walton ruti tawa price in Bangladesh shown on this page is for this exact 24 cm model.

Living with a cast iron tawa

Heat it slowly on medium flame for a couple of minutes before the first roti. After cooking, let it cool, rinse with warm water, dry it on the flame and wipe on a few drops of oil — that is what keeps rust away. Never pour cold water on a hot tawa, and do not leave it soaking in the sink. On an induction cooker, place it in the centre of the plate and start on a medium setting.

Cast iron or non-stick?

If you want something light and quick to clean, the non-stick Walton Ruti Tawa Classic is the easier choice. If you cook roti and paratha every day and want a tawa that lasts for years, cast iron is worth the extra weight.
