Purpose: It is a traditional Indian kitchen tool primarily used for preparing tadka (tempering) for various dishes like dals, curries, sambhars, and more, by heating oil or ghee and infusing it with aromatic spices.

Material: Made from brass, known for its efficient heat conduction and retention, enhancing the flavors of tempered spices. Many traditional brass tadka spoons or pans also feature an inner tin coating (kalai) for easier cleaning and non-stick properties, as well as to make them suitable for sour foods.

Design: Characterized by a small, deep bowl and a long handle to ensure safe handling and prevent heat transfer to the hand during use with hot oil or spices.

Care: To maintain its lustre and prolong its life, it's recommended to clean with a soft damp cloth, avoid abrasive or acidic materials, and potentially apply a thin coat of cooking oil or use polishing agents like Pitambari powder, tamarind, vinegar, or lime periodically.
