I thought let me try a local brand, as lodge doesn’t have 11 or 12inch kadai, but 14 inch wok, which would be too big for me. And after reading so many reviews I ordered this. I received it today, to my surprise it was heavy and somewhat smooth when I ran a finger over the insides. The product is nowhere near lodge finish, and barring a few casting irregularities and uneven crater like surface, (maybe because it’s handmade) it was excellent once seasoned. I seasoned it with oil in low flame for about 20 minutes, then cooled it down, added rice wash water and heated for about 10 minutes, rinsed with water. Again applied oil generously and fried some onion to make a coating for about 15-20 minutes and voila it was done.I cooked my first dish in it, a vegetable dry curry and it was perfect and didn’t stick. I’m sure with usage and time it’s going to be excellent. The depth and width are great too. Can cook for 3-4 people easily. Overall I am very happy with it. I’m not sure about the other sellers but I got it from seller siva naturalsUpdate after a few usages:: it is getting better and better and totally non-stick. The older it gets, It would be better I guess. One tip though. Don’t use tamarind or any citrus items and boil for a long time until the patina fully forms. For short bursts of tomato frying it’s been good...but only after seasoning sticksHonestly speaking I wanted to give it off in the beginning but now it’s become my favorite and go-to kadai. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 4.0 out of 5 stars Good quality... quite heavy but no finishing *by M***M on Reviewed in India on 5 August 2020* Heavy kadahi.... of 10.5 inches in diameter when measured. No finishing inside... lots of grooves and ridges. Unfinished quality. Quite heavy to use ... cast iron quality is good. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars Good product *by D***A on Reviewed in India on 1 February 2020* A little heavy so cleaning or washing can be bit difficult. Product is very good we got rid of non stick ones --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.tn/products/169771570-traditional-cast-iron-kadai-large-size-11-inches-diameter-3](https://www.desertcart.tn/products/169771570-traditional-cast-iron-kadai-large-size-11-inches-diameter-3) --- *Product available on Desertcart Tunisia* *Store origin: TN* *Last updated: 2026-06-04*
