Best Answer

Tandoor is a CLAY OVEN which uses charcoal or gas to heat the clay pot and the radiant heat emitted from the walls of the clay oven cook the breads or the meats. Because the flames are not in direct contact of the food, it is more moist and tender and retains the flavours better.

Tandoors are available in 3 basic types.

1. CLAY OVEN (Clay Tandoor)

2. Drum Tandoor (Clay Oven placed in a metal drum with some heat insulation's)

3. St. Steel Body Tandoors (Clay Ovens placed in a Steel framed body with industrial heat insulation) (Also available with Gas Burners)

Conventional Tandoors use Charcoal as fuel but Gas fired option is also available although the food tastes much better when cooked with charcoal and fire wood.
