Tandoor

Indian food is amongst the most popular in the UK, but with a double dip recession looming and wages struggling to cover luxuries, it can be difficult to afford meals out.

One easy, cheap and enjoyable alternative is to cook your own Indian food in the comfort of your own home.  To do this properly you should invest in some authentic Tandoor cooking equipment.  So...what is a tandoor?  A tandoor, put basically, is a clay oven.  It has the appearance of a large clay pot and into this goes a fire and all your ingredients.  Using a tandoor ensures a unique flavour that cannot be created using any other method.  The tandoor allows the fire to get incredibly hot – up to 480 degrees – making the food crispy on the outside, yet beautifully moist on the inside.  Importantly, none of the food’s vitamins or proteins are lost using this cooking method.  A tandoor is also a very healthy way to cook food as no oil is used.

As the fire inside in a tandoor reaches very high temperatures it is essential to use a tandoor of high quality.  Using an inferior tandoor means that the food is not cooked in the correct manner and the wonderful flavours and textures will not be created.  A good quality tandoor needs to have deeply insulated walls.  This will allow the fire within the tandoor to remain at high temperatures thus cooking the food in the correct manner.  A good quality tandoor will also last a long time, often for many years, with very minimal maintenance required.

Once you have purchased your tandoor, why not treat yourself to a tandoori cooking book so you can really make the most out of your clay oven, creating delicious recipes for your friends and family.  You can also purchase skewers, BBQ grill and a pizza plate to make full use of your tandoor.
