I bought a small wok from a Sri Lankan and Indian specialty store, which I find incredibly useful. It has a flat bottom (about 10 cm (4 inches) in diameter) with 7 cm (2¾ inch) high sides (not to be confused with a hopper pan, which is a bit smaller and has a rounded bottom). It’s perfect for frying, dry-roasting, tempering and also cooking side curries.
