Imagine the smell of smoky, char-grilled kebabs, the smoke of marinated paneer and the flaky suppleness of fresh naan. Tandoor cooking, the mainstay of Indian cooking, connotes flavor, culture and heat.
But the prospect of using a clay tandoor in the kitchen today doesn’t appeal to most of us. And this is where indoor tandoors are, a synecdoche of the ancient and the modern to bring the real tandoor feel to your home.
In this post, we’ll be covering all you want to know about indoor tandoors: what they are, how they work, what you can cook in them, and why should you buy one?

The ancient tandoor is a clay oven used for centuries throughout South Asia and the Middle East. Burnt on wood or charcoal, it burns hot, a great temperature to grill, roast and bake. Although tandoors traditionally have a characteristic smoky taste, they’re large, need to be kept outdoors, and they can be difficult to keep clean.
Indoor tandoors, meanwhile, are small, electric units that mimic the high heat cookery of tandoors. These newer versions are easy, smokeless and safer to prepare authentic tandoori dishes at home.
With heating chambers and insulation, they will get to the same temperature so you won’t lose out on that trademark charred flavor.

Tandoori cooking is fast because the food gets cooked quickly and the juices are retained without excess oil or fat.
Energy Conservation

Fat Loss
Excess fat evaporates while you grill so your meals are tidier.
Preserves Flavors
High-temperature cooking maintains the original flavors of your ingredients so that you will get gastronomically delicious results every time.
Convenience and Versatility
There isn’t just one kind of indoor tandoor for Indian food. Although great for tandoori chicken, naan and kebabs, you can also grill vegetables, bake pizzas or even roast fish with it. It’s lightweight, which is good for tiny kitchens, and it’s electric, so you don’t have the messes of a traditional tandoor.
Cost-Effective and Time-Saving
