wow..that's for all your replies!
LDH - so the heavier the tawa, the better it is? hmm..interesting. how much did you get yours for? i never liked the heavy one's cause ..well, i just never liked 'em :p the one my mom's got is nice and light, but she's got the upside down one..and then has another one to make parathas on.
I remember when I was lil.. ma mom also had an upside down tawaa.. Got it from Pakistan back then.. I called it belly tawaa..:D Used that one for many many yrs..!
Well its not THAT heavy.. I mean.. Its easy to lift, but it was a bit heavier compared to the other tawaa's I've seen at the shop.. Ehm.. I paid around 15 pounds for this tawaa coz it was by Mittal.. all other tawaa's (same size) were around 10 pounds or less..
