The Tandoor, a cylindrical clay oven that uses charcoal or wood to create heat to cook food, is an integral part of North Indian cuisine. Tandoori dishes are not only tempting but very popular among Indians and Westerners. Anything cooked in a tandoor is infused with smoky flavors, which makes this form of cooking so unique. Here are some must-try items at the Indian Banjara restaurant from a tandoor:
Murgh Tandoori
Murgh Tandoori is a spicy chicken dish that is cooked in a tandoor. It comes from the Punjab region of India and Pakistan, where the Mughal Empire popularized it. The word ‘murgh’ means ‘chicken,’ and ‘tandoori’ refers to the cooking method used for this dish: cooking at high temperatures over an open flame.
In addition, Murgh Tandoori has become popular among restaurants as an appetizer or main course during lunch or dinner service hours. Some restaurants serve it as part of their buffet menu because it’s quick-cooking and easy for customers who want to sample different foods without committing too much time or money!
Murgh Malai Tikka
Murgh Malai Tikka is a type of chicken dish that is popular in India. It’s prepared by marinating the chicken with yoghurt, spices, and other ingredients. After being marinated, it’s cooked in a tandoor (a clay oven).
Tandoori chicken is commonly served with naan – an Indian flatbread made from flour and water, or sometimes milk and butter.
Paneer Tikka
Paneer tikka is a popular dish among vegetarians, and it is made from soft cheese. The paneer is cubed and marinated in spices like garlic and ginger paste before cooking in a clay oven (tandoor). It is served with mint chutney to balance the heat of the dish.
Lamb Seekh Kebab
Lamb Seekh Kebab is a popular dish in Indian restaurants. It is made of minced lamb that has been cooked in a tandoor, grilled on skewers, and then served with mint chutney. The name “Seekh” means skewer, and “kebab” refers to the meat dish.
Lamb Seekh Kebabs are usually served as an appetizer or snack but can also be used as an entree for dinner if you’re having a party at home or out to dinner at an Indian restaurant that serves this dish.
Tandoori Lamb Chops
Lamb chops are marinated in yoghurt, ginger, garlic, and a host of spices. The chops are then cooked in the tandoor and served with mint chutney and onion rings. Lamb is considered a delicacy so that this dish will impress your friends at dinner!
You should definitely try these items.
Tandoori dishes are a delicious and healthy option for those who want to indulge in Indian food without the heavy feeling that comes with many curries. You can find tandoori dishes at Banjara, a fine Indian dining restaurant.
And finally: because these foods contain less fat than other types of curry recipes (such as butter chicken), they’re lighter on your digestive system than traditional Indian cuisine might be.
Go on, a Tandoori dish never disappoints!
