What is Tandoori?    

If you ask what ‘Tandoori’ is? It is a cooking technique where the food cooks in a clay oven. It is a very simple process of cooking. So, the cooking method includes a cylindrical clay oven, at the base of which lays the charcoal fire. The tandoori dishes are generally made with pieces of meat or veggies marinated in yogurt and spices. Then, we fix them in long skewers and place them vertically along the tandoor for even cooking.

You may wonder what sort of spices go into tandoori marination. It combines different spices like coriander, cumin, garlic, ginger, cloves, cinnamon, black pepper, cardamom, and nutmeg. So, the spices and marinade may vary from grill to grill and chef to chef, as there are different ways of preparing tandoori marinades.

The three things essential to making the tandoori dishes are the tandoori oven (mainly for a restaurant), the special tandoori masala, and the marinade, which helps tenderize the meat and make it juicy.
