A kitchen essential for every Indian home, this lightweight aluminium tadka pan — also known as a vagariya — is designed for quick and easy tempering of spices. Heat up a little oil or ghee, toss in your mustard seeds, cumin, dried chillies, and curry leaves, and pour the sizzling tadka straight over your dal, kadhi, or rice. The aluminium body heats up fast and responds quickly to temperature changes, giving you full control over your tempering.
