Most people think that tandoori is a recipe. A tandoor is a large clay pot in which a hot fire is built. Marinated meats are lowered into the pot on long metal skewers and cooked. Normally meat is first marinated in yogurt.  Please do not let the chicken sit in the yogurt for more and a couple of hours. It becomes wooly.
