Karahi material

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)

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)

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)

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)

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

Round Handles?

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)

Lead picture

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)

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)
