Tandoori

Tandoori refers to a style of Indian cooking that uses a tandoor, a traditional clay oven, for grilling and baking. Ingredients like meats, bread, or vegetables are marinated in a mixture of yogurt and spices, then cooked at high temperatures in the tandoor. This method imparts a distinctive smoky flavor, tender texture, and vibrant color, especially red or orange from spices like turmeric and paprika. Tandoori cooking is popular for its bold flavors and is often associated with dishes like Tandoori chicken, which is flavorful, juicy, and aromatic.
