Seasoning Tadka Pan: Where Flavor Begins and Stories Sizzle

Seasoning Tadka Pan: Where Flavor Begins and Stories Sizzle

Before the first spoonful, there’s a sound.
A quiet kitchen, a flick of oil, and then - crackle.

That’s when the magic starts.
The Seasoning Tadka Pan isn’t just another cooking tool.
It’s the spark. The first line of a recipe. The start of something soulful.

The Soundtrack of Indian Kitchens

In every Indian household, there’s a ritual 
a pan warming on the flame, the swirl of ghee, the sharp pop of mustard seeds,
the earthy scent of jeera dancing in the air.

This moment isn’t an afterthought. It’s a signature.
The tadka isn't just seasoning - it's the soul of the dish.

With our handcrafted mitti tadka pan, we bring this ritual back to its roots.

A Tradition Poured Into Clay

Made from 100% organic terracotta, the Seasoning Tadka Pan is shaped by rural artisans from Pachdhar village near Pench, MP, where pottery is more than a skill - it’s a legacy.

Each piece is sun-dried, wood-fired at 1200°C, and completely free of chemicals, glazes, or coatings. The result? A lightweight, perfectly sized pan that brings out the best in your spices - every time.

Frequently asked questions (FAQs)

Q1: Is the clay tadka pan suitable for all types of spices?
Yes. Its porous surface ensures gentle heating and prevents burning, making it perfect for cumin, mustard seeds, ginger-garlic pastes, and traditional tadka.

Q2: Do I need to soak or season the pan?
Soaking for a couple of hours before first use helps. Warm it gradually and prepare a basic tadka or oil seasoning to toughen the surface and protect it.

Q3: Can the pan be used on an induction stove?
No. This pan is intended for gas or wood-fired stoves. Clay needs gradual heat—induction can cause thermal shock, leading to cracks.
