Do you have to use these tools to make the dishes you mentioned or can you substitute these for western alternatives? John.

I was wondering how to maintain my utensils, your tips are very handy, I live in India and paper towels are little rough here, I think I should look out for softer ones. Another doubt how good is anodized cookware?, there are lot more out in the market?, can I use an anodized tawa for dosa as they have thick bottom. Hi Indira,

As given in the photographs, I will use a thick pan for Dosa and a slightly thinner one for chapti. Thank you for the suggestion Indira, a really useful one.

I have a doubt. Can we use same Tawa for chapathi and Dosa or to use seperately ?? please give your suggestion. <i>Hi Subha, I guess you could use the same tawa for both. There won't be any problem with chapati making but dosa won't come off that easily and will stick to the pan. It is best to have separate tawas, one each for chapati and dosa. It will definitely make it easy to prepare nice, golden dosas. - Indira</i> It is good information Indira. I have a doubt.
