That looks wonderful CBM where did you get your Tandoor from?
-
Cheers UF,
I saw it on ebay, it came out of a takeaway.
Its a steel tandoor as used in those restaurants that market themselves as 'balti' houses.
I can't tell the difference between food cooked in this gas steel tandoor and the standard clay and charcoal types.

Is it gas or do you have to fire it up with charcoal etc?
And can you leave it outside?
Really thinking about getting one but unsure if its worth it as i already have a BBQ and get really good results on that.

Hot diddly damn that looks fantastic!

It is gas, it could live outside if kept under cover I suppose but I keep it in the curry shed.
I have to use it outside the shed as I have no extraction in the shed.
Having built my own clay/charcoal tandoor, I prefer the ease and cleanliness of the gas tandoor.
I wouldn't disagree with you about getting good results on the BBQ but this takes things to another level. The naan breads are really good.

My tandoor and cooker is in my shed/garage
It does have a fairly high roof, though
I've had no problems with fumes, or any danger of something catching fire
I just cook with the shed door, wide open
The closest ever got to causing a fire, was when I was cooking a curry, and it flambeed a foot high
The flames eventually subsided
But that was a very long twenty seconds

Hey Mick fantastic looking pics - what is your fav recipe at the moment? and u got a recipe for it?
Jealous much !!!

Hi Haldi,
The curry shed is a pent roof design and is about 7 feet at its highest, I'm 6'2" so my head/eyes are in the fumes/smoke and it did make my eyes sting a bit even with the doors wide open.
A much higher roof and I'd get away with it I suppose.
Regards,
Mick

No worries Garry,
Mix powder, Spice Mix...call it what you will.
I'm using this one at the moment.
6 teaspoons of Rajah Mild Madras Powder.
4 teaspoons of Paprika Powder.
2 teaspoons of Coriander powder.
2 teaspoons of Cumin Powder.
2 teaspoons of Turmeric Powder.
1 teaspoon of Garam Masala.
For garlic naans my preferred method is to use chopped garlic and roll it in to the dough then place the naan garlic side down onto the tea towel pad ready to stick it to the side of the tandoor.

Hi Ray,
