Kadhai — Triply Steel, Hard Anodised, Non-Stick & Cast Iron Online at GD Sons

Kadhai — Triply Stainless Steel, Hard Anodised, Non-Stick & Cast Iron Kadhai from Hawkins, Futura, Stahl, Borosil and Bergner

The kadhai is the most versatile vessel in the Indian kitchen — used for deep frying, sautéing, making sabzi, dal tadka, and dozens of other everyday preparations. This page brings together 50 kadhai options available at GD Sons, across five brands and four material types: triply stainless steel, hard anodised aluminium, non-stick, and cast iron. Each material has distinct cooking properties and suits different uses. Triply steel refers to three bonded layers — typically steel, aluminium, and steel — that distribute heat evenly across the entire surface, not just the base. Hard anodised aluminium is electrochemically treated to be significantly harder than standard aluminium, making it scratch-resistant and non-reactive with acidic ingredients like tomatoes and tamarind. Non-stick surfaces reduce oil usage and simplify cleaning but require more careful handling to preserve the coating. Cast iron retains heat longer than any of the other materials and is traditionally preferred for slow cooking, dum preparations, and dishes that benefit from sustained, even heat. Use the filters on this page to narrow by brand, material, or size.

Hawkins Triply Kadhai — Standard, Pro and Honeycomb Non-Stick

Hawkins offers the widest triply steel kadhai range on this page, spread across three sub-lines. The standard Triply Kadhai (SSD and SSK series) comes with glass lids in sizes from 1.5 litres to 5 litres — glass lids allow monitoring without lifting, and the triply construction ensures heat spreads evenly up the sides of the kadhai, which matters for deep frying and sabzi alike. The Pro series (PSK) is built for heavier use, available in 1.5 litre, 2.5 litre, 3.5 litre, 5 litre, and 6 litre with steel lids — the steel lid is more durable for repeated daily cooking cycles. The Hawkins Olive Triply Kadhai (POSK25G) at 2.5 litres with a glass lid is a design-forward variant in the triply range with a distinctive finish. The Honeycomb Non-Stick Triply Kadhai (NSDK25G) at 2.5 litres with glass lid combines the triply steel base with a textured honeycomb non-stick surface on the interior — this gives the even heat distribution of triply steel with the lower-oil cooking benefit of a non-stick surface, making it one of the more practical choices for everyday sabzi cooking.

Futura Hard Anodised Kadhai — Non-Induction and Induction Base

Futura by Hawkins is the most comprehensively stocked brand in the hard anodised kadhai category. Hard anodised aluminium heats faster than steel, handles high-heat cooking well, and the surface is harder than most non-stick coatings — making it suitable for metal spatulas and daily rough use. The non-induction hard anodised kadhai (AK and AD series) covers sizes from 1.5 litres to 5 litres with both glass and steel lid variants — the AK15G, AK15S, AD25S, AK40S, and AK50S span the full capacity range for gas stove users. For induction cooktop users, Futura's induction-base hard anodised kadhai (IAD and IAK series) covers 2 litres (IAK20G), 2.5 litres (IAD25S), and 3.75 litres in both glass lid (IAD375G) and steel lid (IAD375S) options. The induction-base versions have a magnetic steel disc bonded to the base specifically to make them compatible with induction cooktops — the rest of the construction is identical to the non-induction versions.

Futura Non-Stick Kadhai — Non-Induction, Induction Base and Pro

Futura's non-stick kadhai range runs across three build types. The standard non-stick kadhai (NK series) for gas stoves is available at 2.5 litres with steel lid (NK25S). The induction-base non-stick kadhai (INK and IND series) expands the range for induction users — the IND25 at 2.5 litres with induction base, the INDK25G at 2.5 litres with glass lid, the INK35S at 3.5 litres with steel lid, and the INK50G at 5 litres with glass lid cover most household size requirements. The Futura Pro Deep Kadhai Non-Stick (PNK25S) at 2.5 litres with steel lid is the highest-specified non-stick kadhai in the Futura range — the Pro designation indicates a heavier-gauge build suited to more frequent, higher-heat non-stick cooking. All Futura non-stick kadhai use a hard aluminium base with the non-stick coating applied on top.

Futura and Stahl Cast Iron Kadhai

Cast iron kadhai are for cooks who prioritise heat retention and long cooking over convenience. Futura offers two cast iron kadhai — the Ironman Cast Iron Kadhai at 2.5 litres / 26cm (IMK25G) and the standard Cast Iron Kadhai at 3.5 litres / 26cm (CIK35G). Both are pre-seasoned and compatible with all heat sources including induction. Stahl's cast iron kadhai come in 24cm (8324) and 26cm (8326) — Stahl's cast iron range uses a somewhat lighter casting than traditional Indian cast iron, which makes them easier to handle day-to-day while retaining the heat-holding properties of the material. Cast iron kadhai are particularly suited to making dum dishes, slow-cooked meat preparations, and any dish where maintaining a consistent low temperature matters.

Stahl Artisan Triply Kadhai and Tasla

Stahl's Artisan triply kadhai is available in seven sizes — 16cm (4316), 20cm (4320), 22cm (4322), 24cm (4324), 26cm (4326), 28cm (4328), and 30cm (4330) — all with steel lids. The Artisan range uses a brushed triply stainless steel finish that makes it equally suited to cooking and table serving. The size range from 16cm to 30cm is the widest on this page by diameter, giving precise control over vessel size for different preparations — the 16cm and 20cm are particularly useful for small-quantity cooking like tadka or single-serve dishes. Stahl also offers the Tasla in 20cm (4620) and 24cm (4624) with steel lids — the Tasla is a kadhai variant without side handles, with a wider, shallower profile that is traditionally used for making halwa, kheer, and other preparations that require frequent stirring across a broad surface. Both Artisan kadhai and Tasla are induction-compatible.

Borosil Triply Kadhai

Borosil offers six triply kadhai with lids, covering the most complete capacity ladder in the triply steel segment on this page: 1.6 litres, 2.1 litres, 2.7 litres, 3.6 litres, 4.6 litres, and 5.5 litres. The close spacing between sizes — particularly the 1.6L, 2.1L, and 2.7L options — makes it easy to find the exact capacity needed rather than compromising on a size that is slightly too large or small. All six are induction-compatible triply steel builds with lids.

Bergner Triply Kadhai and Multi Kadhai with Steamer

Bergner contributes two kadhai to this page. The Girisha Triply Kadhai at 24cm with glass lid is a standard triply steel kadhai option from Bergner's Artisan-equivalent range. The Revanth Multi Kadhai with Steamer at 24cm is the more distinctive product — it is a triply kadhai that includes a steamer insert, allowing it to function both as a regular kadhai and as a steamer for idli, momo, dhokla, and similar preparations without requiring a separate vessel. For households that steam regularly but want to avoid a dedicated appliance, the Revanth is a practical dual-purpose option.

Kadhai and Cookware Sets — Hawkins Trinity and Futura Hard Anodised Set

For those setting up a kitchen or wanting a coordinated set, kadhai are also available as part of cookware sets on this page. The Hawkins Trinity Triply Set is available in 22cm (three pieces: kadhai, tava, frying pan) and 26cm (same combination) — both in triply stainless steel with compatible lids. The Futura Hard Anodised Set 24cm similarly combines a kadhai, tava, and frying pan in hard anodised aluminium. Buying as a set gives a consistent material and finish across the three most-used cookware pieces, and typically works out more economical than purchasing each piece individually.
