Tandoori Roti, the Indian clay oven delicacy
“Roti” or bread is the staple food in India and across the country there are hundreds of variations. The country has been blessed with a variety of cultures, religions, languages and food stuff that is simply astonishing. Travelling across the states of India reveals an incredible list of dishes with mouth watering taste and incredible aroma. Indians love bread and its variations and especially the varieties prepared in the clay oven or Tandoor are the most preferred one. Originated from the northern part of the country, nowadays these clay ovens have become an essential element of all big and small eating joints everywhere. People love to order golden brown Tandoori Roti coated with a layer of melted butter and typical Punjabi vegetarian or non-vegetarian dishes to accompany.
A Tandoor is a vertical cylinder made traditionally from clay, but modern versions are available in metal and mortar as well. The cylinder has an opening from the front and the upper side. Fire is placed at the bottom and the inner walls are used to stick the flattened dove. It is baked from both sides and the Roti drops in the Tandoor. The chef is absolutely vigilant to pick it up immediately and dip in melted butter or Ghee according to the order. Calorie conscious people would prefer it plain while the taste-lovers would always go for the buttered one.
Not only plan Roti, there is a wide variety of Parathas and Naans that are prepared in the Tandoor. The secret of the irresistible taste lies in the fact that the dove gets baked in extremely high temperature from all the sides and hence it gets evenly roasted. The water gets evaporated and you have a crispy smoky flavor that is simply incredible. It is a memorable experience to taste the simmering hot plate of spicy “dal fry” and golden brown Roti in a roadside hotel, especially in the winter season.
