I dont do this often ,  but I really like it a lot....Especially with spicy chutneys it goes awesome...Nowdays we use nonstick pan but the taste is best when had in iron pan.......People using it will know the difference..... 

But the problem in iron tawa is consistency should be perfect....When I was a beginner in cooking I bought a nonstick and still using it...But thinking to get a iron tawa now...
