Yep! 500 degrees celsius. Can melt zinc. Tandoor sounds the same as "keep your body tf away from this thing" in many northern Indian languages. Charcoal-fired, cooks with infrared heat.

Makes anything cooked in it juicy and tender.

Will probably cook your hand if you left it in for more than half a second.

Most everything in a rustic eatery that's not a gravy is cooked in a tandoor. Flat breads like naan, vegetables, kebabs, etc.
