A Tandoori Chef will train for a minimum of 6 years before he is considered time-served. 

I suspect you're right and how crazy is that? A semi-competent person could be fully trained within 1 week.

There's more to it than slapping naan breads and dropping skewers into a tandoor oven George.  Amongst other things, the Tandoor Chef will have to learn butchery skills.  Try making tandoori lamb chops, from a half (or whole) sheep, with no wastage.  The lad on the tandoor at my local TA is still having trouble spiral-wrapping a sheek kebab with fine pastry, for the special sheek kebab/naga roll.  It's well tricky!  A fully trained tandoori chef may be able to find work in the large asian banqueting halls, used for weddings and business events.  You won't get into one of these places after a week.  This is the territory of the Master Chefs.

some irony in walleye's post, but it is an unfortunate price to pay.

Godspeed you in your curry journey, Matcurry.

When I ask counter staff some questions about ingredients etc (regardless of the establishment) they tell me that it takes a couple of years to learn how to cook the curries. I still don't believe that. It can't be THAT complicated.
