TANDOORI SPECIALTIES: New Georgetown Menu

Cooking in a tandoor (a special frontier province open oven made of clay) dates back to the Indus Valley civilization where meats, breads and vegetables were exposed to high heat for a short period of time. Today it is the lightest and most nutritious form of cooking in Indian restaurants where meats and vegetables are marinated and lightly grilled, as also fresh breads are baked with great skill and expertise.
