Futura Hard Anodised Nonstick Dosa Tava 28cm – 4.88mm Extra-Thick | German Nonstick Coating | Induction & Gas Compatible | PFOA Free
If perfectly crisp dosas, evenly browned rotis, and golden aloo tikkis are what you cook every day, this tawa was made for your kitchen. The Futura Nonstick Dosa Tava (28cm) is built from heavy-gauge hard anodised aluminium at 4.88mm thickness — nearly double the thickness of ordinary tawas — which means it heats up fast, retains heat longer, and cooks every inch of your dosa or roti with perfect, consistent heat distribution. No hot spots, no uneven browning.
What sets this tawa apart is its superior German Nonstick coating, applied using a unique patented process and locked firmly into the tough hard anodised surface underneath. This isn't a regular nonstick coating that peels off in a year — it is guaranteed for 2 years and designed to last longer than ordinary nonstick cookware. The coating is also completely PFOA-free, making it a safe, healthy, and hygienic choice for daily cooking. Batter spreads effortlessly and oil stays exactly where you put it — no spilling, no wastage.
Built with everyday practicality in mind, the tawa features a stay-cool plastic handle secured with sturdy stainless steel rivets and bracket that are firmly fixed and will not loosen over time. The protective hard anodising on the exterior ensures the tawa will not pit, tarnish, or corrode — keeping it looking new for years. With an induction disc attached at the base, it works seamlessly on Gas, Induction, Electric, Ceramic, and Halogen cooktops. Manufactured by Viral Cookware for Hawkins — a name trusted in Indian kitchens for decades.

Key Features
Heavy Gauge 4.88mm Thick Body
At 4.88mm thickness, this is an extra-heavy gauge tawa that heats up quickly and distributes heat evenly across the entire 28cm cooking surface. The added thickness also means better heat retention — your tawa stays at the right temperature even when you add cold batter or dough, so cooking remains consistent from the first dosa to the last.
German Nonstick Coating – Guaranteed for 2 Years
The nonstick coating is sourced from Germany and applied using a unique patented process developed by Futura. It is not simply painted on — it is locked firmly into the hard anodised surface underneath, which is what makes it significantly more durable than standard nonstick coatings. Futura backs this coating with a 2-year guarantee.
Nonstick on Hard Anodised Surface – Lasts Longer
The cooking surface is first hard anodised — a process that creates an extremely tough, non-porous base layer — and then the German nonstick coating is applied on top of it. This combination results in a surface that is far more resistant to scratching, chipping, and wear compared to nonstick applied on plain aluminium.
PFOA Free Nonstick
The nonstick coating is completely free of PFOA (Perfluorooctanoic Acid) — a chemical historically used in some nonstick coatings that has raised health concerns. You can cook with confidence knowing the coating is safe for your family's daily meals.
28cm Diameter – Ideal for Dosas & Rotis
The 28cm cooking diameter is the ideal size for making full-sized dosas, large rotis, parathas, uttapams, and pancakes. It gives you enough surface area to spread batter evenly while remaining compact enough to fit comfortably on most stovetop burners.
Batter Spreads Evenly – Oil Does Not Spill
The flat, even cooking surface combined with a slightly raised rim ensures that dosa batter spreads smoothly and uniformly without running off the edges. A small amount of oil or ghee stays within the cooking area, so you use less fat and get a cleaner, more controlled cooking experience.
Protective Hard Anodising on Exterior
The outer surface of the tawa is hard anodised, which makes it resistant to pitting, tarnishing, and corrosion. Unlike regular aluminium cookware that discolours and degrades over time, this tawa maintains its appearance and structural integrity for years of regular use.
Stay-Cool Plastic Handle
The ergonomic plastic handle is designed to remain cool to the touch even during extended cooking sessions on high heat. It is comfortable to grip, well-balanced for the weight of the tawa, and durable enough to withstand daily use without cracking or warping.
Sturdy Stainless Steel Rivets & Bracket
The handle is attached using stainless steel rivets and a reinforcing bracket that are firmly fixed into the tawa body. Unlike handles that loosen after months of use, this construction ensures the handle remains stable and secure throughout the product's life.
Induction Disc Attached – Works on All Cooktops
An induction-compatible disc is permanently attached to the base of the tawa, allowing it to work on Gas, Induction, Electric, Ceramic, and Halogen cooktops without any additional accessories. This makes it a truly versatile piece of cookware suitable for any modern Indian kitchen setup.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q1. What makes this tawa better than an ordinary nonstick tawa?
This tawa combines three premium features that ordinary nonstick tawas lack: a 4.88mm extra-thick heavy gauge body for even heat distribution, a German-made nonstick coating applied via a patented process onto a hard anodised base, and protective hard anodising on the exterior. Together, these make it significantly more durable, longer-lasting, and better performing than standard nonstick cookware available at similar price points.
Q2. Is this tawa safe for health? Is the nonstick coating PFOA free?
Yes, the nonstick coating used is completely PFOA-free. PFOA is a chemical that was historically used in some nonstick manufacturing processes and has been linked to health concerns. Futura's German nonstick coating does not contain PFOA, making it safe for daily cooking for the entire family.
Q3. Will this tawa work on my induction cooktop?
Yes. The tawa has an induction disc permanently attached to its base, making it compatible with induction cooktops. It also works on gas, electric coil, ceramic, and halogen cooktops — so it works regardless of what type of stove you have at home.
Q4. How long does the nonstick coating last?
Futura provides a 2-year guarantee on the German nonstick coating. Because the coating is applied onto a hard anodised surface using a patented process — rather than on bare aluminium — it bonds more deeply and is designed to last longer than ordinary nonstick coatings, even with daily use.
Q5. What size dosas can I make on this tawa?
The tawa has a 28cm cooking diameter, which is suitable for making standard to large-sized dosas, as well as full rotis, parathas, uttapams, and cheelas. It is the most commonly preferred size for Indian home cooking.
Q6. Can I use metal spatulas or steel ladles on this tawa?
No. To protect the nonstick coating and extend its lifespan, always use wooden, silicone, or nylon utensils on this tawa. Metal spatulas and steel ladles can scratch and damage the nonstick surface over time, even on a hard anodised base.
Q7. Is this tawa dishwasher safe?
No. As indicated on the packaging, this tawa is hand wash only. Wash it with warm water and a mild liquid detergent using a soft cloth or sponge. Avoid abrasive scrubbers, steel wool, or harsh cleaning agents that can damage both the nonstick coating and the hard anodised exterior.
Q8. Will the handle loosen or break over time?
The handle is secured using stainless steel rivets and a reinforcing steel bracket that are firmly fixed into the tawa body. This construction is specifically designed to prevent the handle from loosening or wobbling during use, even after years of regular cooking.
Q9. Who manufactures this tawa and is it made in India?
This tawa is a proudly Made in India product. It is marketed and distributed by Hawkins Cookers Limited, one of India's most respected and long-standing cookware companies.
Q10. What is the product code and how do I identify the correct variant?
The product code for this tawa is INDT28 — where "IN" stands for Induction compatible, "DT" for Dosa Tava, and "28" for the 28cm diameter. This code helps you identify the exact variant when looking for replacement products or spare parts through Hawkins' authorised service channels.
