Mind Your Grill

So you forgot to pick up that $1 tawa the last time you were in Delhi and the paratha you assemble on the Teflon frying pan is just not making the grade.  Williams-Sonoma, the specialty retailer, is offering you a break with a Le Creuset Tava – for $90.

Forgot your karahi? They offer an oven-safe Calphalon One Indian wok “based on the karahi,” which, the catalog waxes, has “two beautifully shaped loop handles – inspired by graceful scrollwork on Indian architecture.”  Only thing is that you will have to pony up a very unIndian $125.

The latest Williams-Sonoma catalog has a whole section dedicated to the Indian kitchen, with a handful of recipes to boot. A 10 oz bottle of Tandoori Grilling Paste will set you back $10 and – get this – a 9 oz spice kit will burn a hole in your wallet for $39. And you thought those MDH masalas for $1.99 were getting pricey!
