Tava
The tava(h) / tawa(h) (IPA: [t̪əʋaː], mainly on the Indian subcontinent), saj (IPA: [sˁɑːdʒ]in Arabic), sac (IPA: [sadʒ], in Turkish), and other variations, is a metal cooking utensil. It is round and usually curved: the concave side is used as a wok or frying pan, the convex side for cooking flatbreads and pancakes. There are also flat tawas.
The Indian tava might have a handle or not, and it can be made of cast iron, aluminium, or carbon steel. It may be enameled or given a non-stick surface. The tawa and saj are used in the cuisines of South, Central, and West Asia, as well as of the Balkans. The tawa is also used in Indo-Caribbean cuisine.
