तन्दूर (Tandoor): Clay Oven Technology
I
Origin
The tandoor — a cylindrical clay oven heated internally by charcoal or wood — is among the oldest cooking technologies in continuous use, with archaeological evidence dating to the Harappan civilisation (2600–1900 BCE) of the Indus Valley. It is simultaneously an oven, a grill, and a bread-baking surface; the temperatures achievable inside a commercial tandoor (400–480°C at the walls) are higher than any other common cooking surface and produce results impossible to replicate by other means.
