Question 8

What is a Tandoor oven, and why does it make a difference?

Accepted Answer

A Tandoor is a traditional cylindrical clay oven heated by charcoal or wood fires exceeding 900°F (480°C). This extreme heat locks in the juices of marinated meats while adding a subtle, signature smokiness. It's also how our authentic Naan breads get their perfect blistered char.
