I'm looking to be able to cook Tandoori style meats at home and am thinking a clay pot in an oven wont reach the temperature needed so if this is a no go what do you recommend and have you any tips?
Mods please move to chat
isnt there a DIY design using vermiculite and terracotta plant pots? WIll go and googlify
here we go, knew Id seen one somewhere
What d'you reckon that'll look like on the kitchen worktop?
Fwiw my SO doesn't even like the smoke off of the George Foreman
There was a version made out of a metallic bin type incinerator on the Jamie and Jimmy food program a while ago
I bet a google would find the instructions and method!
You need to get hold of a copy of the South Asian restaurant trade mag 'Spice world' loads of ads for commercial tandoori ovens!
Bumping up for the evening culinarians..
Ps. I'm not after anything industrail sized.
Tandoori requires quite a lot of heat, having that in your kitchen wouldn't be all that smart frankly. That clay pot one above is the bomb.
Apparently they require a great deal of skill to use too. Restaurants here say they are having trouble attracting good tandoori chefs.
Weber charcoal portable bbq will give you the required very hot dry heat.
Unless your kitchen is the size of the Saturday Kitchen kitchen then you really don't want one inside it. Build something on the patio đŸ™‚
Here you go
This version works well as the metal bin keeps the heat contained as a clay pot by itself struggles to get to temp and hold it.
Prepare to lose all your arm hair!

You also need to fit some major league extraction. The heat given off is pretty phenomenal. When my local takeaway's extraction broke down the heat in there was utterly extraordinary - not uncomfortably hot, unbearably hot. Its definitely something you'd want to do outside unless you were building your house around it - in the way you might configure a house and and its systems around a Aga or a Rayburn. - but even then its much more fierce.
In my daydream Grand Designs house the heat and hot water would be run from a tandoor so that I'd have to make a duvet-sized nan bread every time I ran a bath. Mind you my Grand Designs fantasy house has a third tap in the kitchen - 'hot', 'cold' and 'hummous'.
