Tandoori cooking originated in the Indian subcontinent, traditionally involving marinating meats in yogurt and spices before cooking in a tandoor oven. This method imparts a unique smoky flavor and tender texture. Tandoori tempeh is a modern vegetarian adaptation that celebrates the vibrant spices of Indian cuisine while providing a plant-based protein option. It's enjoyed globally, often served with naan or rice, and has inspired many variations.
