Tandoor: The Great Indian Barbecue Hardcover – November 12, 2001

This book is not just rich in recipes, its rich in history and cultural information and keeps you totally imersed and intriged. My self study in the grilling and barbecue arts took me to India, and this is the best book on the subject. I am sand that the author no longer lives, but you can consider this a legacy to all of us far away. I allways say that recipies are just the vehicle for learning how to cook, after mastering the flavors and techniques in this book, you may consider yourself an authority in the arts of the flame.

This is a very well written book, touches a bit on history of Tandoor. A good collection of tandoori recipes... I liked the fact it has a lot of vegetarian recipes as well.

Explanations very clear and in detail . Exhaustive recipes. Wish some recipe options were suggested for using home ovens too .

A well written book for the serious clay oven cook. This is a thoroughly readable book includes history and use of the oven. However it is for people who have invested in a tandoor, not for people trying make their Big Green egg or Weber double as a tandoor

Loved the book. Has lot of recipes but the only issue was some of the ingredients are hard to come by in the USA

This book is Excellent. Unfortunately, I've been able to try only 2 recipes (about 10-15 times each) because that's what everyone wants (again and again). If you try these recipes in a regular oven hold the chillies a bit as the the end product is much hotter in an oven as compared to a Tandoor. (its also drier but that is to be expected). I guess the reason is that part of the marinade is burnt off by the Tandoor heat and some more falls off as the chicken sweats off some liquid.

Complete, and great cooking instructions.

Great info on cooking in a tandoor oven. Tasty recipes so far. Index is a bit weak.
