What type of pan you use for dosa and chapati?

This is really good for dosa/roti.
Lodge Logic 10-1/2" Cast Iron Griddle - Walmart.com

 

Nice topic... expecially since i just replaced my dosa and chapathi pans very recently.

For Chapathi, I recently found a fantastic non stick in IKEA. Very good, and easy to clean too. The teflon coating is much better than the ones you would find in other stores. IKEA also sells the food safe plastic spatulas. I use that for this if making chapathi with oil, but no need for anything if making phulkas.

For DOSA - I used a "Lodge" Brand cast iron pan for the past 12 years, and recently replaced it with another one of the same brand. It is heavy, and since it is cast iron, it heats up evenly and the dosas come out wonderfully. It is heavy, and cannot be used in a dishwasher (though I have once out of sheer laziness). Since it is cast iron, after washing, dry it immediately and use a drop of oil and wipe the plate (this is so that it does not rust).

 

I have a Prestige non-stick pan my mom brought from India. She makes dosas on this when she visits, and they come out well. I'm usually too lazy to make them on my own.
For rotis I have a enameled cast-iron griddle.
I hand-wash both of these.

 

i use calphalon non stick pan.. if ur in us buy the product from bed bath and beyond.. they give ur life warranty, u can return it back and get new one... buy it it is excellent for both dosa and roti.. i took 4 pans to india for our extended family.. they really love it.

I use cast iron for dosa - the olden days one that you can find in authentic small stores especially in small towns.

And I use the hard anodized one for roti. I never make dosa in this. If I have to make parathas or chapati with oil, I use the dosa tava.

 

I use dosa pan for both chapati and dosa but separate.
Once my dosa pan is old, i shift it for chapati

Dosa pan is always kept only for dosa..i use futura dosa pan
