Kamado as a Tandoor Oven

Tried using the Mini Chef Kamado as a Tandoor Oven today with mixed results.

Given it's size the amount of meat you can cook is limited & trying to find a balanced heat to ensure the meat doesn't burn to aggressively before it's cooked internally is a challenge, but got there in the end. Almost gave me the excuse to invest in a full sized Kamado Joe!

looks good!

I like your idea of standing them up, you could probably get a few in like that😋

I did contemplate using the ProQ & hanging them from the fish hooks in the lid, I don't think i'd have got the heat required around 450f without the clay construction of the Kamado. I might have been able to get four skewers in in total with the lid closed & rotate them occasionally through the chimney.

They did taste amazing though, I marinated the meat for 24 hours in the paste before cooking. I used this recipe https://www.masalaherb.com/easy-tandoori-paste-recipe/ for the paste

Use a potato at the end of the skewer to protect the meat from burning and so it cooks evenly 😉
