Recipe FAQ

Common tandoori cooking questions

How long does naan take to cook in a tandoor?+
Naan cooks fast in a tandoor — usually 60 to 90 seconds once the oven is fully preheated, since the dough is slapped directly onto the hot clay wall. The high, even heat is what gives it the signature char and puff you don't get from a conventional oven.
Can you make tandoori chicken without a tandoor oven?+
You can get close with a very hot grill or broiler, but you won't fully replicate the smoky char and moisture retention a real clay tandoor gives you. If you're making tandoori recipes often, a home-sized tandoor oven is a worthwhile upgrade over improvising with standard kitchen equipment.
What temperature should a tandoor be for chicken tikka?+
Most tandoori chicken and tikka recipes cook best between 480°F and 550°F. At that range, the outside chars quickly while the inside stays juicy — lower temperatures will dry the meat out before it develops any color.
Do I need to marinate meat before tandoor cooking?+
Yes — marinating is what makes tandoori cooking tandoori. A yogurt-based marinade with spices tenderizes the meat and helps it hold moisture under the tandoor's intense heat. Most recipes call for at least 30 minutes, though 4 to 8 hours gives noticeably better flavor and texture.
Can vegetarian dishes be made in a tandoor?+
Absolutely. Paneer tikka, vegetable skewers, naan, and dal all work well in a tandoor — the high heat is just as good for charring vegetables and paneer as it is for meat, and it's the traditional way naan and other flatbreads are baked.
