Coal Smoking Method - A Cooking Technique to get Tandoori Flavour

Smoking food at home, using hot charcoal is a super easy method to achieve the tandoori effect right in your own kitchen. This method lends that smoky flavour usually obtained by cooking in a tandoor, with as little as a piece of coal. Using this technique of coal smoking, you will get the taste and aroma that the food has just come out of the barbecue grill or a tandoor, without the hassle of firing up a tandoor or barbecue at home. You can do this right on your stove top.

I tried this method and it was lovely. Although, the flavour was very subtle - how can I make it stronger? Would I add more coal?

No. Just leave it for as long as you can.

Do you always cold smoke after the dish is completely cooked. I see you rest the katori directly on the paneer. Won't it burn?

Hi . I have a question, which charcoal flavor is best. In the market, there are so many varieties, and I'm totally confused what to buy. Please tell me which charcoal flavor I should buy for tandoori flavor. Thank you

Charcoal is charcoal. It doesn't have a flavour. Just get basic black solid charcoal that you would use for a bbq

[@ladylovesocean]

I have never cooked Arabian food before. I dont have gas stove either. What I plan to do is use my foldable camping stove which uses a gel can such as restaurants use to keep foods warm. You would place the stove part over the gel can, light the gel and you get an open flame. Then you can heat the charcoal. Just be safe with it!
