A tawa is a heavy-based griddle used in Indian cooking and gives its name to a style of preparation, which needs constant stirring and attention. Most Tawa cooking uses a base of onions, tomatoes, ginger and garlic tempered with whole spices. In addition to the base, it takes sixteen different herbs and spices to create an authentic Tawa dish.

Dum cooking is an ancient mention of Indian food preparation. Semi cooked meat or vegetables with partially cooked rice sealed in “Handi”, which is then covered on all sides with glowing embers to give even heat throughout. This particular style does not allow moisture to form inside the “Handi”, ensuring the food is cooked in its own juices, thus retaining its full flavour. Served alongside raita (Punjabi yogurt) or vegetable curry.
