BBQÂ MEATS
Unlike the American-style of barbecue that uses grills for cooking the meat, for tandoori cooking, pre-marinated ingredients (mostly chilli powder, yoghurt, and oil) are lined on a skewer and inserted in a charcoal-heated clay oven. The type of meat used varies; goat, chicken, beef, lamb, fish or prawns are used according to the region, with eggs and potatoes sometimes added as well. States across India all cook this quintessential main dish in different styles, with Delhi biryani and Hyderabadi biryani being popular varieties.
