Futura Hard Anodised Tadka Pan – Small, 240 ml (Spice Heating Pan, Code ATP1)
The Futura Hard Anodised Tadka Pan – Small (240 ml) is the compact, everyday spice heating pan from Hawkins' Futura hard anodised cookware range — an essential piece of equipment for Indian cooking where a quick tadka of mustard seeds, cumin, dried chillies, and garlic is added to dal, sambhar, chutney, and vegetable dishes at the end of cooking. Made from hard anodised aluminium — 3.25 mm thick — the ATP1 is tough, durable, non-pitting, non-tarnishing, and resistant to corrosion, meaning it will stay looking new through years of daily high-heat use. The hard anodised surface absorbs heat extremely quickly and distributes it evenly, making it ideal for rapid spice heating where precise control matters. At 240 ml (1 cup) capacity and 12 cm diameter, it is compact enough to use on a small burner alongside a full cooking session on the main burners.
The Futura Tadka Pan's stay-cool handle is designed for comfortable, safe single-hand carry and pouring — critical when the pan is very hot and loaded with sizzling oil and spices. The hard anodised surface is non-toxic, non-staining, and non-reactive with food — making it safe for use with acidic foods like tamarind and tomato-based tadkas. It is also thermally efficient, reaching high temperature from a gas flame faster than standard aluminium, which helps achieve the characteristic crackle of a properly made tadka in seconds. The ATP1 is suitable for gas, electric, ceramic, and halogen cooktops. Comes with a 5-year guarantee and an instruction manual.
Key Features
240 ml (1 Cup) — The Everyday Tadka Pan Size
The compact 240 ml capacity is perfectly sized for a single tadka of 1–2 tablespoons of oil with spices — ideal for daily dal, sambhar, chutney, and vegetable dishes. Small enough to heat up and cool down quickly, making it efficient for frequent tadka use throughout a cooking session.
Hard Anodised Aluminium — 3.25 mm Thick
Hard anodised aluminium is significantly tougher than standard aluminium — resistant to pitting, tarnishing, and corrosion. The 3.25 mm thickness ensures even heat distribution across the base, preventing hot spots that scorch spices before they properly crackle.
Thermally Efficient — Fast Heat-Up, Precise Control
The hard anodised dark surface absorbs heat from a gas flame faster than plain aluminium, reaching tadka temperature quickly. This fast response allows precise control over the spice heating process — essential to achieve perfectly tempered mustard seeds and cumin without burning.
Stay-Cool Handle — Safe Single-Hand Pour
The stay-cool handle keeps the grip safe to hold throughout cooking and when pouring the hot tadka directly into the dish. The handle is designed for comfortable, secure single-hand control even when the pan is fully loaded with hot oil and spices.
Non-Toxic Hard Anodised Surface — 5-Year Guarantee
The Futura hard anodised surface is non-toxic, non-staining, and non-reactive with all foods including acidic ingredients. Suitable for gas, electric, ceramic, and halogen stoves. Backed by Hawkins' 5-year guarantee on Futura cookware.
