TANDOORI VEG. PLATTER

Tandoor is the art of slow cooking food especially chicken over a clay oven in charcoal heat.

Tandoori is traditionally considered to be an Indian dish. After the partition of India Kundan Lal Gujral who hailed from Peshawar fled to India from the newly formed Pakistan. He started his restaurant named Moti Mahal In Delhi which is said to have popularized modern day tandoori food.

However, evidence of tandoori food have been found as early as 3000BC in the remains of Harappan civilization. Broken clay vessels with fossils of charred meat stuck on them have pointed towards the fact that tandoori food was consumed in this era.

So we can say that Tandoori food is an Indian invention.
