Tandoori cuisine without Tandoor

The use of a tandoor is very important, the traditional Indian dishes of the North, and bread ovens and dishes were designed for this tone. These include many well-known Punjabi and North Indian dishes: paratha, naan, Kulche, roti and other breads interesting and tandoori lamb chops, Chicken Tandoori Chicken Tikka, Seekh Kabab, Tandoori Prawns, Reshmi kabab, and a variety of other dishes.

The effect is not like the tandoor, but the taste that results is a good approximation.

You can choose a conventional oven to cook "Tandoori" dishes. The similarity is that both have the Tandoor oven andlimited space, where the heat is trapped, but the first does not have the smoky aroma of genuine brand tandoori cooking. This method is the best alternative for cooking tandoori bread (Naan, Roti, Kulche, etc.) when a tandoor is not available because the bread is surrounded by heat.

A cooking grill can be used when cooking such as chicken tikka or lamb chops, although the concept of barbecue cooks really the opposite of Tandoori. AGrill does not have a closed room and the food is heated to about objects. However, food may be achieved also delicious. The grid is good for quick meals (ie, when the grid is not an option).
