Frequently Asked Questions About Tandoor shashlik
What is tandoor shashlik?

What cut of meat is best for tandoor shashlik?
A tender cut that can stay juicy when cooked in chunks works best for tandoor shashlik. Lamb and beef are both used; ask for a suitable, relatively even-textured cut and trim away tough sinew.
How is tandoor shashlik cooked in a tandoor?
Tandoor shashlik is cooked on skewers inside a very hot tandoor, where radiant heat browns the meat. The skewers are positioned so the pieces cook evenly without touching the oven walls.
How should you marinate tandoor shashlik?
Tandoor shashlik can be marinated with onion, oil or yogurt, salt and spices before it goes on the skewers. Keep the pieces similar in size so they cook at the same pace, and avoid an overly acidic marinade.
Is tandoor shashlik the same as kebab?
Not exactly: tandoor shashlik is a type of skewered meat dish, while kebab is a broader name for many meat preparations. Shashlik commonly uses distinct chunks of meat; its cooking method and seasoning vary by recipe.
What should you serve with tandoor shashlik?
Serve tandoor shashlik with flatbread, grilled vegetables, salad or rice. A fresh salad with herbs and lemon balances the roasted meat, while sauces can be offered on the side.
Can you make tandoor shashlik without a tandoor?
Yes, tandoor shashlik can be made under a home oven’s grill or on an outdoor grill. The flavor will not have quite the same tandoor character, so turn the skewers as needed and watch closely to prevent drying.
How do you store leftover tandoor shashlik?
Refrigerate leftover tandoor shashlik promptly in a covered container rather than leaving it out. Cooked meat generally keeps for three to four days in the refrigerator; reheat it until steaming hot throughout.
Is tandoor shashlik healthy to eat?
