Garuda Plain Triply Kadai With Lid – 18 to 32 cm

Make curries, dal tempering, and deep-fried snacks in a kadai that heats evenly all the way up its curved sides, not just at the base.

Tri-Ply Without Non-Stick Coating
Tri-ply is made by pressing steel, aluminium, and steel together under high heat until they fuse into one piece. This bond is permanent, unlike a coating that wears off in a year or two. No seasoning needed, and the even heating lasts for years.

Best for Tempering and Frying
A single-layer kadai heats mainly at the base, leaving the sides cooler, which is a problem for tadka and bhuna masala. This kadai's aluminium core runs through the sides too, so heat stays even from bottom to rim.

Works on Gas and Induction, Anywhere
Works on gas, induction, ceramic, coil, and radiant ring cooktops. Performs the same on an Indian gas stove or an induction cooktop abroad, no need to switch cookware when relocating.

A Healthier Way to Cook
Even heat means food sticks less, so you need less oil to sauté, temper, or fry. Less oil means fewer calories in your meals, without changing the taste.

Backed by 40 Years of Garuda
Garuda has made stainless steel cookware in India since 1985, from our own factory. This kadai uses the same fused, layered construction across our tri-ply range, built for the deeper, curved cooking a kadai needs.

Using Your Kadai Correctly

• Heat on low flame for a minute before adding oil, letting the layers warm evenly.
• Avoid high flame for long frying sessions, since oil can overheat faster than in a single-layer kadai.
• Use wooden or steel ladles as usual.
• Let it cool before washing to avoid warping.
• Dry fully after washing to prevent water spots.

Questions Before You Buy

How is this priced compared to a regular steel kadai?
It costs more upfront due to the three bonded layers, but it lasts longer than single-layer kadai that wear unevenly over time.

Is this a good switch from a non-stick pan?
Yes, food sticks less than on a plain steel pan, though it needs a bit more attention to oil and preheating than non-stick.

Does size affect how evenly it heats?
No, even heating holds across all sizes. Pick a size based on your usual batch quantity instead.

Is this kadai heavy compared to a regular one?
Slightly heavier due to the aluminium core, but manageable for daily use and part of what makes it durable.
