Tandoori roti, chicken and paneer

Several ready-to-eat Indian traditional foods are prepared by employing a tandoor, a special type of urn-shaped baking oven used for a long time. The oven is traditionally made of clay and is used to prepare several popular traditional foods like tandoori roti and naan (Figure 4.3.1), tandoori chicken, or grilled chicken and tandoori paneer or tikka. Tandoori ovens are often used in restaurants, fast food chains and during social functions.
