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.
