what is the difference between tandoori and curry?

Question

i'm not really a fan of eather but i am curious

Answer 1

If it's only a question of curiosity ,just the basics will do.Tandoori dishes are characterized by two essential steps,first is the traditional marinade,basically beaten yogurt & a mixture of spices,any meat or fish can be done in this style,after marinating the meat is threaded through a metal skewer & cooked in a clay oven with an open mouth through wich the skewers are put in and removed,turning to prevent burning & basting with marinade or oil is also essential.Curries are a simple affair,everyday cooking in an Indian home,mostly stove top.

Answer 3

Tandoori is cooked in an oven (tandoori) at high heat -- 450F -- while curries are cooked in a 'stew'. A little too simple but that's about it. At home curries are fairly easy, just pull out a pot and go to it. You can do a tandoori at home (approximately) -- marinade your lamb, chicken, etc. then pop it under your broiler with all the heat you've got -- a grill might be better, but I don't have any experience there.

Answer 4

Briefly, a "tandoor" is a clay oven in which you bake the breads and meat etc on skewers; while a curry is a thick or thin broth made with spices and curry leaves usually cooked in a saucepan or pot!

Incidentally, you can tone down the spices and use their marinades like lime, for example and it can be rather delicious!
