Tandoori Dishes
Used throughout India and Kashmir (and found in Indian restaurants throughout the world ), the traditional rounded-top tandoor oven is made of brick and clay. It's used to bake foods over direct heat produced from a smoky fire. Meats are marinated and then cooked in the tall, rather cylindrical tandoor - usually skewered and thrust into the oven's heat, which is so intense (usually over 500°F ) that it cooks a chicken half in less than 10 minutes. A very healthy option served with salad.
