• Preheat the tandoor oven to a high temperature, typically around 450–500°F (232–260°C).

• Prepare your ingredients (e.g., chicken, lamb, or vegetables) by marinating them in yogurt and spices for several hours to enhance flavor and tenderness.

• Thread the marinated ingredients onto skewers, making sure they are evenly spaced for optimal cooking.

• Insert the skewers into the tandoor oven and cook for about 10–15 minutes, turning occasionally to ensure even cooking.

• The tandoor’s high heat cooks the food quickly, creating a charred, smoky exterior while keeping the inside tender.

• Remove the food from the tandoor once it is fully cooked and slightly charred.

• Serve immediately with naan, rice, or fresh vegetables.

• Step 1: Allow the tandoor oven to cool before cleaning.

• Step 2: Clean the interior of the tandoor by wiping away any leftover ash or food particles.

• Step 3: If necessary, use a wire brush to clean the cooking surface and remove any charred bits.

• Step 4: Maintain the tandoor’s exterior by wiping it down with a damp cloth.
