Tandoori food is traditionally made in a clay oven called a tandoor in which meat is placed on long oversized metal skewers and placed through the top of the tandoor, with the tip of the skewer touching the bottom where the charcoal is smouldering. The heat inside the tandoor sears the surface of the meat, while the metal skewers conduct the heat through the inside of the food. Cooking the meat simultaneously on both the inside and the outside.
Naan bread is cooked by slapping the dough mixture onto the inside of the tandoor. It cooks has it hangs down from the inside of the tandoor, forming into a teardrop shape.
Tandoori food can easily be cooked on a barbecue grill and you�ll achieve very similar results as obtained using a tandoor.
It�s normal for tandoori food to be slightly seared black on some of its edges. Which is caused from the intense heat created inside the tandoor.
The Barbecue tandoori chicken recipe below makes a good start to cooking tandoori style on your barbecue.
Practically every Indian restaurant offers tandoori chicken. The secret behind this succulent tandoori chicken dish lies in the long marinade in yogurt with spices.

Use either red, orange or yellow.
