After washing the tawa, do not let water stay on it. It will corrode the tawa, and it won’t be good for cooking anything.

When seasoning the tawa, it is crucial that you apply oil on all surfaces and edges. Always apply the oil on dry tawa and keep it aside for a couple of hours at least.

To seal the seasoning, heat the tawa for 5 minutes on a medium flame. Once heated, keep it aside for cooling down.

Always wipe off excess oil from tawa after it has cooled down. If the oil remains, it will attract germs and insects, which are likely to get stuck to the surface.

Wash the tawa the next day with rice water. It will remove excess salt and oil while adding a shine to the surface.
