Tandoori Chicken is probably among India's most famous foods! It is what has brought the Tandoor (clay oven) and foods cooked in it to prominence. There is nothing to beat the lovely smokey flavor cooking in a Tandoor creates in foods. From bread to Kababs and curries, there's a lot you can cook Tandoori style. However, since most people don't have a Tandoor in their backyard, all my recipes have been written with instructions for cooking in an oven or on the grill or barbecue.
