Buy Cookware Online – Kadhai, Tava, Frying Pan & More | Hawkins, Futura, Stahl & Vinod

Good food starts with the right cookware. Whether you're rolling out morning rotis on a flat tava, deep-frying in a heavy-bottomed kadhai, tossing a quick stir-fry in a non-stick frying pan, or simmering dal in a sauce pan, the pan you pick matters more than most people realise. At Girdhar Das & Sons, we bring together one of the widest collections of cookware available online — spanning everything from everyday aluminium tavas to premium triply stainless steel kadhais and rugged cast iron grills. Brands like Hawkins, Futura, Stahl, and Vinod sit side by side so you can compare, choose, and cook with confidence.

The range covers a remarkable breadth of materials and coatings: hard anodised aluminium that heats fast without reacting with food, tri-ply stainless steel that distributes heat evenly across gas and induction both, cast iron that retains heat beautifully for deep frying and grilling, and classic non-stick with Shielded and Ceramic variants for low-oil cooking. Sizes run from compact 16 cm pans perfect for a tadka or small portion, all the way to generous 30 cm kadhais built for large-family meals and biryani feasts. Whether you cook on a gas stove or an induction cooktop, there is a compatible option here for you.

From Futura's Appachetty breakfast pan designed for South Indian snacks, to the Hawkins Triply Pro Kadhai series built for those who want restaurant-grade performance at home, and the beautifully crafted Stahl Artisan Triply Kadhai range that is as elegant as it is functional — every product on this page has been hand-picked for quality and everyday usefulness. Browse by product type, material, size, brand, or coating to find the piece that fits exactly how you cook.

Kadhai – The Heart of the Indian Kitchen

The kadhai is arguably the most-used vessel in an Indian home — and the range here reflects just how many ways there are to make it right. The Hawkins Triply Pro Kadhai series, available from 1.5 to 6 litres, features a three-layer stainless steel and aluminium construction that delivers even heat right up the curved walls, not just at the base. The Hawkins Olive Triply Steel Kadhai adds a glass lid variant for those who like to monitor cooking without lifting the cover. Futura's Cast Iron Kadhai — in both the Ironman and standard series — is ideal for deep frying and slow cooking, giving curries that rich, slow-developed flavour only cast iron can produce. Stahl Artisan Kadhais, available from 16 cm to 30 cm in both triply stainless steel and cast iron, are built with food-grade 304 SS interiors and come fitted with matching steel lids — a thoughtful choice for those investing in cookware that will last decades. Vinod's Non-Stick Fry Pan Zest rounds out the range with a lighter everyday option for households that prefer low-oil cooking.

Tava & Griddle – Rotis, Dosas and Parathas

A good tava is the difference between a roti that puffs and one that doesn't. The collection carries Hawkins Triply Steel Tavas in 22 cm, 24 cm, and 26 cm — flat-bottomed and induction and gas compatible, with the even heat spread of tri-ply construction ensuring every inch of the roti cooks uniformly. The Hawkins Paratha Tava (26 cm) features a slightly concave surface designed for parathas that need a little puddling of oil at the centre. The Futura Non-Stick Flat Tava in 22 cm and 26 cm offers a smooth surface great for dosas, pancakes, and omelettes. For versatility, the Futura Grill 'n' Griddle Cast Iron Tava gives two surfaces in one — a flat griddle on one side and a ridged grill on the other, perfect for chargrilling sandwiches, paneer, and vegetables. The Hawkins T-Pan with glass lid adds a covered cooking option, useful for steaming and soft rotis.

Frying Pan – Versatile and Everyday Essential

Whether it's a quick egg in the morning or a shallow-fried snack in the evening, a reliable frying pan earns its space on every stovetop. The Hawkins Pro Frying Pan Triply Steel (22 cm) is available both with and without a steel lid, built from the same three-layer triply construction as the kadhai range and compatible with both gas and induction. Futura's Pro Frying Pan in non-stick with a stainless steel lid brings easy-release convenience to everyday frying. For compact needs, options start from 20 cm — suitable for small families and single-serving cooking. All frying pans here are designed with stay-cool handles and stable flat bottoms to prevent tipping on any cooktop.

Sauce Pan & Handi – For Boiling, Simmering and Biryani

The sauce pan is the unsung hero of the kitchen — used for boiling milk, making soups, heating gravies, and cooking smaller portions. Stahl's Artisan Triply Sauce Pans, available in 16 cm and 18 cm Belly style, are crafted from 304 food-grade stainless steel with an aluminium core and 430 SS base — meaning they work seamlessly on both gas and induction. The Belly shape of the 18 cm variant improves stirring ease and reduces splatter. Hawkins' Casserole and T-Pan in stainless steel with glass lids adds versatile covered cooking for dals, stews, and reheating. For large-batch one-pot cooking, the Futura Biryani Handi Bigboy 8 Ltr in hard anodised aluminium is a deep, wide vessel specifically built for biryanis and family feasts.

Appe Pan, Uttapam Pan & Idli Stand – South Indian Specialities

The range goes well beyond everyday staples and caters to South Indian breakfast enthusiasts too. The Futura Breakfast Pan Appachetty (22 cm) in hard anodised aluminium with a glass lid features rounded wells — perfect for making appe (paniyaram), gulab jamun, and egg bites. The Hawkins Futura Cast Iron Appe Pan (16 cm) brings the durability and natural non-stick character of seasoned cast iron to the same task, giving appe a beautifully crisp exterior. The Futura Uttapam Pan (24 cm) with a glass lid offers a wide non-stick surface for thick uttapam that cooks evenly without sticking. The Hawkins Aqua Idli Stand in non-stick finish — 12 idli capacity — rounds out the South Indian corner with a convenient, easy-to-clean option for soft steamed idlis.

Induction-Compatible Cookware

With induction cooktops increasingly common in Indian homes, the range includes several dedicated induction-compatible options. All Hawkins Triply Pro and Stahl Artisan kadhais, tavas, and sauce pans work on induction without any adaptor plate. Use the induction-compatible filter on the page to instantly narrow your selection to pieces that suit your cooktop.

Cookware by Material – Choosing What's Right for You

Hard Anodised Aluminium

Hard anodised aluminium cookware — the hallmark of the Futura range — undergoes an electrochemical hardening process that makes the surface two to three times harder than standard stainless steel. The result is a cooking surface that is non-toxic, non-reactive with acidic foods, and highly thermal-efficient. It heats quickly and evenly, browns and crisps food beautifully, and will not pit, tarnish, or corrode with regular use. Futura kadhais, tavas, biryani handis, and breakfast pans are all made from hard anodised aluminium and represent some of the best value in premium Indian cookware.

Triply Stainless Steel

Triply stainless steel cookware bonds an aluminium core between two layers of steel — the inner layer being food-grade 304 SS (non-reactive and corrosion-resistant) and the outer layer being 430 SS for induction compatibility. This construction heats faster than single-layer steel, distributes heat evenly to eliminate hot spots, and is completely safe for all food types including acidic gravies and tamarind-based dishes. Both the Hawkins Triply Pro and Stahl Artisan ranges on this page are built this way — heavier than aluminium options, but far more durable and compatible with every cooktop type.

Cast Iron

Cast iron cookware is among the oldest and most trusted materials in the kitchen. It retains heat exceptionally well, making it ideal for deep frying, slow cooking, and high-heat grilling. The Futura Ironman and Stahl Cast Iron Kadhais available here are modern, well-finished interpretations of this classic material — available from 24 cm to 26 cm. Cast iron improves with use: the more you cook in it, the better its natural non-stick character becomes. Heavy by design, these pans are built to last a lifetime with minimal care.

Non-Stick & Ceramic Coated

For those who prefer minimal oil cooking and effortless cleaning, non-stick cookware remains the most practical everyday choice. The section includes standard non-stick, the reinforced Shielded Non-Stick used in the Futura Pro series for greater durability, and Ceramic Non-Stick for those seeking a PTFE-free cooking surface. Non-stick tavas, frying pans, appe pans, and uttapam pans are all available here.
