Tandoori Yogurt Marinade

Tandoori is the name for foods that are cooked in a tandoor, a cylindrical clay oven that is the secret behind tandoori chicken and Indian naan. The distinct flavors of food cooked in a tandoor result from oils and fats dripping from the marinated ingredients onto the hot charcoal lying on the floor of the oven, a phenomenon that is easily duplicated in a charcoal grill.
