TasteAtlas recently released its list of 100 best cooking techniques around the world for the year 2023-24. India's tandoori cooking was among the Top 15 techniques.
Indian tandoor cooking ranked 13th on the list. The tandoori technique evolved from an old Middle Eastern method of baking bread but when it came to India, people started experimenting with it, which later became Indian-style tandoori cooking.
In this technique, a food item like bread or meat is cooked over a blazing fire in the 'tandoor', a cylindrical open-top clay oven fueled by wood or charcoal, after being loaded with special marinades like yoghurt and some spice rubs.
Apart from Indian breads, such as naan, roti, parantha and kulcha, it is a must to try some tandoori Indian classics like- paneer tikka, chicken tikka, tandoori chicken and kalmi kebab.
Argentina's Asado was crowned as the best cooking technique in the world. It is considered an epitome of Argentinean gastronomy and culture. In several other South American countries, it is both a culinary and social event to share the joy of outdoor cooking.
In Asado, meat is cooked on a special brick-built grill called la parrilla, and the fire can either be made with charcoal (parrilla al carbón) or wood (parrilla a leña) also known as asado criollo, a term that indicates a more rustic, traditional style of grilling.
