Karahi material[edit]

As a cook, just returned from a journey in India, I would say that karahis are most often made of wrought iron, not cast iron...

By all means change it. I've been looking for one here in California to take a better picture, but all I'm finding is teflon. FiveRings 04:01, 2 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, these pans are generally made of press formed sheet iron or sheet steel. Very fine examples can be found at the Indian Appliances store in Artesia California. Agrygs (talk) 16:50, 6 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

The third photo looks like some delicious "karahi chicken" served in a 6" American skillet from Lodge. --Paulerickson (talk) 20:11, 13 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

The last picture is a cast iron skillet, probably of American origin, (looks like Lodge, but could be another manufacturer) considering the picture was taken in a restaurant in Canada. It is certainly not a karahi, at least we don't call them that in the US. Judging by the other pics and descriptions, I'm betting that pic belongs in the Cast-Iron cookware article, not this one.

The pic is obviously not of a karahi and should be removed. There are cast iron karahis, but they aren't very common, and that certainly isn't one of them. --Ef80 (talk) 14:47, 12 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I have removed it. --Ef80 (talk) 12:59, 24 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Round Handles?[edit]

In the photo caption, it states that the one pictured does not have loop-shaped handles. It sure looks like it does.38.88.62.60 (talk) 17:06, 4 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Lead picture[edit]

The lead picture does show a karahi, but it isn't the traditional type. In fact it looks to be a thin stainless steel type of the sort used to serve food in Indian, Pakistani and Bangladeshi restaurants. Nobody actually cooks food in those, it is a serving utensil. A picture of an actual cooking karahi would improve the article if anybody can take a photo and upload it. --Ef80 (talk) 14:42, 12 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

In the Yuba City, California Indian grocery stores that I used to frequent, something that looks exactly like the "wok" pictured here is sold as a kadhai, and those are what I use to cook with. In any case, I think the picture's label is misleading, since that would be sold as a kadhai. I know that the wok page says that a southern China style wok does have two loop handles, but I suspect/wonder-if the photographer here wanted to show a cooking karahi and a serving utensil. See https://www.clovegarden.com/ke/kp_kadhaiz.html for a photo. -- Radzy0 (talk) 02:16, 7 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
