Now that you know how we make naan, let’s talk about Tandoori entrées — like our Tandoori Chicken, Shrimp Tikka, or Malai Kebab. If you love that smoky, grilled flavor, this is where the tandoor shines even brighter.
🍗 Part 2: Tandoori Magic – Spice Meets Flame
Tandoori cooking isn’t just a method — it’s a fiery flavor ritual.
We start by marinating the meat (or paneer) in a bold blend of Indian spices, along with creamy yogurt. This step isn’t just for flavor — it tenderizes the meat and infuses it with layers of warmth, tang, and heat.
Then the real show begins:
We thread each juicy piece onto long metal skewers and lower them deep into the tandoor, where the flames roar and temperatures can top 800°F.
🔥 Inside, the intense heat instantly sears the outside, locking in juices while creating a beautifully charred crust. No frying. No heavy sauces. Just spice, smoke, and pure flame-grilled flavor.
In just minutes, your tandoori dish emerges smoky, succulent, and sizzling — ready to be devoured.
