Tandoori Specialties
The "Tandoor" is used for tandoori meat preparation and baking tandoori breads. It is an earthenware pot, which is about four feet deep. The upper half slopes inward, thus presenting an opening about a foot in width. It is fried and heated with charcoal. The tandoori preparations tend to have a unique "earthy" taste about them!
