A large fire at a Dunedin takeaway was caused by an unattended chip fryer, a firefighter says.

Fire and Emergency New Zealand was called to the fire at Satay Station, on Kaikorai Valley Rd, about 6.20pm on Wednesday.

A woman and her young daughter escaped the blaze, with the woman requiring treatment at the scene for burns to her hands.

Dunedin senior station office Rob Torrance told Stuff the woman had been cooking chips prior to the fire, but left the fryer unattended.
