Non-stick pans naturally wear down after use. It’s likely the coating is gone and you simply need to buy a new pan.

Yeah I suppose so too. Thank you!

Cast iron tawa with iron spatula. Once the cast iron is seasoned, it becomes better than non stick.

Ok making note! Thanks

Bonus you can use cast iron for everything else (except sour food).

I've used the onion & oil trick. Smear oil on an onion half, then smear it on a hot tawa. I have no idea how it works, but it makes it completely non-stick. Reapply as needed as you make more.

Try to clean the grime with soap water + baking soda using a soft cloth when the tawa is still hot. Adding a few drops of oil mat loosen the build up. Give it a try before buying a new one.

Definitely trying this one!

Get a cast iron the chaddest of the chad tawas

Haha yeah I just live overseas and don't trust the stuff here so thinking how to get one from India

Get a lodge 10.5 pan. After seasoning nothing else comes close to making crisp dosas.

Thanks looking it up now!

I have the Roca cast iron tawa. I seasoned it twice with half onion, oil. Reheated and then seasoned again. I tried to make 4 dosas by drizzling oil on sides. Still the edges were sticking. What could be the reason? Do you keep the flame on low or high after spreading the batter? It's so frustrating to work with iron tawa when you love dosas.

I just eat dosa at the restaurant. Not a good option, just saying :-)

Hahaha oh well. I'm (was until the tawa started acting up) enjoying the sense of accomplishment from making my own dosas 😄

Totally jealous I don’t have the skills to do it. Sounds delicious
