Description
Tandoor oven cooking uses high temperatures and dry heat to cook food, creating a characteristic flavor and texture.
Technical
The process involves the Maillard reaction, a chemical reaction between amino acids and reducing sugars that occurs when food is heated, resulting in the formation of new flavor compounds and browning. The high temperatures and dry heat also contribute to the caramelization of the food's surface. The cooking time can range from 10-30 minutes, depending on the type of food being cooked.
