Tandoor

//tænˈdʊə(ɹ)//

"Tandoor" in a Sentence (2 examples)

I had a buffet lunch at an Indian restaurant called "La Tandoor." It was only $6.95 and it included spicy chicken curry and all sorts of curry. The dessert was rice pudding with pistachios. It was a heavy meal, but it was fabulous. A good thing that I notice of Indian restaurants is that the decor and the ambiance are very comfortable, almost like a bedroom. It makes me want to take a nap after the hearty meal. Today is the 3rd of November of 2001.

You can cook naan in a normal oven, but the results will inevitably disappoint; even Indians generally wait to savour them in restaurants, as very few homes are equipped with a tandoor.
