The Tramontina Utsava is a small stainless steel tadka pan built for tempering whole spices in hot fat before pouring them over dal, kadhi or curry. Its tri-ply clad body pairs a stainless interior and exterior with an aluminum core, so heat spreads quickly and evenly across the base. The steep sides keep seeds and splatters contained, and the pan moves from stovetop to oven. Against basic single-layer tadka pans it is heavier and more controlled; the trade-off is a small 4-inch size that suits tempering and toasting, not cooking larger portions.

The Tramontina Utsava Tadka Pan is a 4-inch pan for tempering spices. It is used to draw out flavor from cumin, mustard seeds, red chilies and similar ingredients for dishes such as dal, kadhi and curries. It can also toast seeds, brown butter and fry small servings.
The pan has tri-ply clad construction: a stainless steel interior and exterior around an aluminum core. The aluminum core heats quickly and evenly. The exterior is mirror-polished and the interior has a fine satin finish. The surfaces resist reactions with acidic or alkaline foods.
The sides are steep to keep ingredients contained while tempering. The stainless steel handle is shaped for comfort and control. The pan can be used on the stovetop and in the oven.
