Tandoori ovens have clay pots that have been used for generations in parts of the eastern Mediterranean and central Asia to cook meat dishes and unique leavened flat naan bread.

Is it necessary to cure a tandoor oven or clay tandoori oven? And why does a claypot need to be seasoned?

Yes, seasoning a real tandoori oven is important, is the response. To prevent the completed naan from sticking and eventually burning, the clay pot must be well seasoned. Otherwise, the raw dough would slide off and burn. The goal of seasoning the clay pot is to gradually raise the interior temperature while also making sure that the clay does not split.

Not advisable

The following claypot curing method is NOT one that we suggest. Time is wasted, and completing all steps quickly is exceedingly difficult.

Put two coats of masala or paste to the clay pot to be cured before heating the tandoor oven or clay tandoori oven. The ingredients for this paste are 1 Kilogram of mustard oil (or another type of oil), 1 Kilogram of jaggery, 10 tablespoons of turmeric, and a dash of salt. Apply it to the claypot interior after carefully mixing the ingredients. Allow the paste to dry for 4 hours.
