Opposite Tawa in Muslims: Why is bread made on the inverted pan in Muslim homes? You must have heard this question from many non-Muslims. In the world, it seems that the roti pan is made directly on the stove, but in Muslim houses, bread is made on the inverted pan. Is there any religious or cultural reason behind this?

Significantly, it was especially used in Muslim homes in western Uttar Pradesh and Haryana. But due to the changes coming with time, now the custom of making bread on the opposite pan in Muslim homes has reduced. Today, in most Muslim homes, bread is made on normal pan. In this article, we will tell you the reason for the use of inverted pan/round pan. Let’s know…

Bread size and its relationship with wood stove
In western North India, there is a trend of eating more bread than rice. Muslim homes also have the trend of eating more bread than rice. The bread made in this area is much larger than normal bread, which is very difficult to cook on a small pan. When the heat of the fire is limited, this bread is cooked from the middle, but the shore remains raw.

In such a situation, a round pan is used, which after placing it on the stove remains upwards like a dome. The bread is completely cooked on this pan and does not remain raw anywhere. But there is no religious reason for this, but what people consider to be upside down is just the texture of the pan. It is called round tawa, which is used to make large size bread.

Does it still be used?
Muslim women said that this griddle does a good job on the raw stove, ie wood -powered stove and also cooks the bread well in it. Even today it is used in some places. But now gas is used for cooking in every house, so it is not possible to make bread on such a pan. Actually, this gas does not stand well on the stove/round tawa stove.

But in some restaurants where rumali roti is made, it is used, because rumali roti is always made big.
