Responsibilities and Duties
Tandoori Chefs
To become a tandoori chef, individuals must learn to cook using a tandoor, a brick or clay oven commonly used in Indian-style cooking. The tandoor, which is heated by charcoal or gas, may have rounded sides and stand as high as five feet. Traditional tandoors usually are placed outside because of the heat and smoke; however, some modern tandoors have ventilation systems that allow them to be used indoors.
A tandoor cooks by quickly searing and sealing the outside of food items such as fish, meat, and bread. Traditionally, food items are dyed orange and marinated in dry spices or a sauce. Tandoori chefs must take special care in ensuring that food is cooked evenly since the temperature in the tandoor can vary from bottom to top. Tandoori-cooked food not immediately consumed is usually kept under a heat lamp or refrigerated for later use.
