The Benefits of Indulging in Tandoori Delights

Indian food lovers are sure to know the delights of gorging on tandoori naans and chicken kebabs with their smoky flavour and divine aroma.

Tandoors are clay ovens that have been in use for centuries to prepare an eclectic range of dishes. A simple invention, the tandoor has a fire lit inside that helps evenly cook the food while giving it a smoky aroma and flavour.

Popularly used in cooking Indian food, the tandoor is uniquely designed that makes cooking food in it easier, tastier, and healthier! And while the design has hardly seen any change since its invention, there have been several modifications made to it to stand the test of time. You can now find portable and electric tandoors more suited for modern times while still helping create amazing delicacies that are divine.  And with tandoors being widely used even today, we can easily surmise the beauty of the cooking and the heavenly taste of tandoor-cooked food.

At our lovely Indian restaurant in Gold Coast, you can have the chance to indulge in mouth-watering food cooked in the traditional tandoor that ups the taste-quotient of Indian food. From paneer tikkas that melt in your mouth to kebabs and tikkas for meat and fish lovers, you can find it all at Dosa Hut Gold Coast to indulge your senses.

And if you haven’t had the chance to try out tandoor-cooked Indian food yet, here’s why you should try it:

The distinct flavour

If you love a smoky flavour in your food, the tandoor is the way to go! Since the food is cooked in a clay oven with direct contact to fire, there is a distinct smoky flavour that is usually missing in food cooked on the stove. And we certainly needn’t tell you how great a smoky touch to food tastes!

The lack of excessive fat and calories

We all know what adding too much oil to food does to our bodies. And yet, food prepared without the use of oil or butter can often taste bland. But what if we tell you that tandoor-cooked Indian food requires no additional oil or butter?

Tandoor cooking is unique wherein the food is cooked in its natural juices without compromising its taste. In fact, one might say it tastes even better than fried food! With low calories and fat, you can gorge on as much tandoori food as you wish to in order to sate your cravings.

Retained nutrients

Food cooked in tandoors does not need dollops of oil to be prepared. Nutrients are also lost when you fry food that uses copious amounts of oil or butter. On the other hand, tandoori food is cooked in its own juices, without any addition. This not only makes the food more juicier but also helps it retain its nutritional value.
