Tandoori is basically an Indian version of barbecue, where the meat is roasted in a special clay oven called a tandoor. Charcoal or wood is used to give the meat a wonderfully smoky flavor to add to the spiced marinade of cayenne pepper or red chili powder, turmeric and paprika. There are some fantastic spots around Seattle to enjoy this Indian barbecue!
