Home Tandoor Oven - a luxury but looks great

[judydawn]

It looks and sounds as if you are doing so well with the tandoor Hally, it sure produces a lot of food.

[Halex]

Hally that food looks amazing, so pleased you are happy with your tandoori oven.
Would love to come and play but I'm only free between 10 and 2. You might have to play with out me.
I can't ask for any time off next term as I am having the last week of term off for our holiday.

Jen, any particular day, we can cook yours first & start earlier

[Yvette]

Yum that food looks divine

Count me in Hally.

That food looks delicious. I can almost smell it. ( perhaps that is our dinner!)

[Kimmyh]

Well done Hally. Your food looks mouthwatering and you sound like you are having fun too.

We are hoping to set the tandor this weekend & cook on it.

Sadly the initial excitement has gone with everything that has happened & sill happening.

Looking forward to try it

Debbiebillg, which tike recie did you use?

 

Hally, sorry we have been away camping with the kids for a week so just read this now.  It was the one on the Tandoori Living Website.  This one:

[Debbiebillg]

Just had a look thru all you've been cooking in your Tandoor, Hally and it looks soooooooo yummy ! Your weekend menu sounds delicious ! I'm going to make the butter chicken in the next couple of days.

[Halex]

Thank you, yes cant wait to cook in it again.

What did you prefer the tika or butter chicken?

Maybe I should try the tika this time.

Hally,

All sounds great. You certainly go through a lot more food than we do!

So far we've cooked
- butter chicken
- Maggie Beer slow roasted lamb shoulder
- Greek marinated shoulder and leg of lamb a couple of times
- whole chicken
- lots of pizza
- naan, based on Tandoori living and local Indian restaurant recipes
- butter chicken from a couple of different recipes - Tandoori living recipe most loved by all and will stick with that one from now on
- Tandoori Chicken #2 - loved by all. We find the Tandoori Khatta Masala from that recipe really does add a lot of flavour and also use it mixed through yogurt with cucumber added when we have other curries
- Tandoori mushrooms - using chicken marinade
- Lamb cutlets using chicken marinade
- chicken chops in greek marinade

There are still so many things I'm wanting to try but just short on time.

[Halex]

Wonder, lol

We probably dont!! But last time the charcoal burnt for hours & hours & we felt it was wasted. Charcoal isnt that cheap here.

So we are doing a cook up.

Pork for dinner Sat night

Chicken pieces will go in the freezer in batches.

Lamb or chicken sunday & monday.

Left overs for lunches

Your list looks great

[Wonder]

I'm a bit the same with the charcoal Hally, DH thinks I'm crazy.

I prefer the butter chicken but kids and DH preferred the Tika, (but it was quite thick because of the onion not being chopped fine enough) . I need to cook them both again to be sure lol

[Halex]

I'm a bit the same with the charcoal Hally, DH thinks I'm crazy.

DH is with me too as the only charcoal he coud buy was in 2.5kg bags, he is trying to get a 10kg bag today.

Its such a waste to see the carcoal burn.

Chicken pizza last night, cooked in the oven but the tandoori chicken was great. Still have pieces in the freezer

Hally, Wonder,
I've just come back from our local Indian Store (quite a big store) and they were selling I think it was 5kg bags of long burning charcoal for $12.50. Not sure if that's cheap or not but you might be able to get larger quantities ordered in for you. I didn't really expect to see it there, but thought of you both.

Also, on the Aussie BBQ forum Hally, they're arranging a bulk buy of charcoal, might be worth getting in on that. Here's a link to the thread.
