Tandoori refers to a cooking style that originates from the Indian subcontinent, where food is prepared in a traditional clay oven called a tandoor. This method involves marinating meats, vegetables, or bread in a mixture of yogurt and spices before cooking them at high temperatures, resulting in a unique flavor and texture. The most popular tandoori dish is tandoori chicken, which is marinated in a blend of spices like cumin, coriander, and garam masala. Other dishes include naan bread and tandoori fish, all of which are characterized by their smoky taste and vibrant color, often enhanced by the use of turmeric and red chili powder.
