Tandoor Recipes: Indian cooking methods have long been appreciated for the unique flavour and authenticity they brings to a dish. Tandoori, unlike the popular notion of it being a dish, is a traditional Indian cooking method that has now become synonymous with the dish that is prepared such as tandoori chicken, gobhi or aloo. In a simple way, tandoori has marinated food cooked over intense fire in a tandoor (clay oven). The food is then cooked in a smoky fire on long metal skewers for some time until done. Tandoor is a kitchen equipment that is usually dug into the ground or built in an enclosure and the exclusivity lies in the fact that the heat can only get out from the top. All of this gives you a smoky flavour that is mouth-watering and bursting with the flavours of marinade spices. Preparing tandoori dishes at home isn't as tough as it might seem to you.
