But who likes to spend money on dine out in expensive restaurant every other day? Rather than emptying your pocket in restaurant why don’t you recreate the restaurant style chickentandoori at home? Buy domestic tandoori ovens to recreate this most amazing Indian dish at home.


Types of tandoor ovens for domestic purpose

Clay tandoor - Clay ovens are best to recreate the original and authentic tandoori chicken at home. These tandoors, as the name suggests, are basically clay pots of bell shape. You can even get these custom made according to your needs. Clay oventandoors are heated with the help of live fire or hot coal and produce smoke and fume. This is what gives the chicken tandoori its authentic flavour but this also makes this type of tandoor inadequate for indoor cooking. 


 
Gas tandoor - In case you do not like or cannot do outdoor cooking with clay oven tandoor, go for Gas Tandoor. These tandoors work on same principle. These are round pots under which fire is made and hot air inside the pot helps in cooking just like in the traditional ones. Only these are much smaller, made of metal instead of clay and fire is not made by wood or coal but it is put on common gas stove for the same effect. These are easy to use and can be stored easily in any shelf of your kitchen.

Tandoori dishes


It is an Indian version of clay ovens which is also used in many other parts of the world with different names and in different shapes. The Tandoor oven is actually a 3 feet pot made of clay. The outer layer of this pot is made of insulated material, mostly cement. To use this oven first coal is burnt and placed beneath the pot. Then the marinated food is put on skewers and placed inside the Tandoor.



Well, the most popular Indian tandoori dish no doubt is Chicken Tandoori. It is marinated chicken cooked to perfection in tandoor oven, best served with sliced onion and mint raita. Foodies from all around the world love everything about it. The aroma, the taste and the texture and the secret behind this unique crispy outside and tender inside texture is tandoor cooking. 



The other most popular tandoori dish is chicken tikka which is made from chunks of chicken and served with grilled vegetables like tomato, capsicum and onion. The vegetarian version of chicken tikka is paneer tikka. In this dish chicken chunks are replaced by chunks of paneer or the cottage cheese. 



Tandoori kebab in minced meat mixed with herbs and spices is again one of the most popular Tandoori dishes. You can also prepare flat bread on naan by slapping flatted dough at the inner layer of tandoor and let it cook crisply.
The biggest difference that you see in tandoor cooking is that dishes cooked in clay tandoor are crispy from outside and tender and soft from inside. Tandoor cooks the dishes to perfection without asking for much effort.
