Job description

Preparation of the Tandoor: Before starting the cooking process, you need to ensure that the tandoor is properly heated to the appropriate temperature. This involves igniting charcoal or wood inside the tandoor and allowing it to reach the desired level of heat. Marination and Skewering: Prepare meats or other items for cooking by marinating them in a mixture of spices, yogurt, and other ingredients to enhance flavor and tenderness. Skewer the marinated items onto metal skewers or rods for cooking in the tandoor. Cooking in the Tandoor: Place the skewered items inside the tandoor, using long metal hooks or tongs to position them properly. Monitor the cooking process closely, rotating the skewers as needed to ensure even cooking and prevent burning. Bread Making: Prepare dough for bread such as naan or roti, shaping it into rounds or ovals before placing it inside the tandoor. Use a long-handled tool called a gaddi or gadda to stick the dough onto the walls of the tandoor, where it cooks quickly and develops a delicious charred exterior. Temperature Control: Maintain control over the temperature inside the tandoor by adjusting the airflow and adding more fuel as needed. This ensures that the food cooks evenly and at the proper rate. Safety and Hygiene: Adhere to strict safety and hygiene protocols when working with the tandoor, including wearing protective gear such as gloves and aprons, and following proper food handling and sanitation procedures. Cleaning and Maintenance: Clean the tandoor regularly to remove any residue or buildup from previous cooking sessions. This involves scraping the interior walls and floor of the tandoor, as well as cleaning the exterior surfaces. Menu Development: Collaborate with the chef or kitchen team to develop new recipes and menu items that can be prepared in the tandoor. Experiment with different marinades, seasonings, and cooking techniques to create innovative and delicious dishes. Customer Interaction: Interact with customers to take orders, answer questions about menu items, and provide recommendations based on their preferences. Describe the cooking process and ingredients used in tandoor-cooked dishes to enhance the dining experience.
