Good thinking Mark, it's been a worry the couple of times the site's been down.Agree wholeheartedly what you said about Stew.

Hi again
           If building is too much, have a look at www.tandooriq.co.uk , prices seem very reasonable-now how do I convince the other half !!!

                               Cheers Tony       

Hi all
        It is possible to build a tandoor from a flowerpot, try www.poptastic.com/build.php?tt_page=article&article=3. Worth a try for not a lot of money!

            Cheers Tony

Welcome and nice to see everyone is not anonymous!!!!




              Cheers Tony

Hi Blondie, re the origonal title of this posting,why have you now become the no.1 salesman for this book?

Cheers Tony

Another interesting, and cheap, take on building your own tandor can be found at

Nice way to make people feel welcome Darth!!! maybe they're waiting until they've got something worth saying! It would be nice,though if more people would introduce themselves.
I live 15 miles from my nearest bir and I don't drive, so I don't get there as much as I'd like, or see what's going on. This doesn't stop me wanting to re-create the taste at home,I've been trying a long time, back to the sixties when any sort of spice was extremely hard to find!! So Darthy try not to be so hard on people

Kfc is cooked in oil in a pressure cooker, this is their "secret" I wonder could the BIR's precook the meat this way??

Hi ck & ghanna I think you are at cross purposes, you are both saying the same thing:-tandoori is boneIN-tikka is bone OUT ;D
Cheers Tony

Hi Mark
            The chilli's freeze well, flavour wise, but the texture is lost. Ok for cooking in the curry but can't be used as a garnish or for presentation. Worth pureeing and using instead of chilli powder much better flavour!
