Indian Cooking Stoves

Does anyone know what the little Indian cooking stoves are called.

The ones that can burn charcoal, dung, wood etc.

They sometimes have a big steel plate on the top (might be called a Planchard - the plate that is, not the stove), which I think is removable.

That looks great.

I've been banned from using my BBQ where I live (mine's gas powered). Something in the lease to do with keeping stored fuels on the premises but I might just get away with a tandoor if it burns charcoal.

I did get some instructions on how to make one from an old oil drum from a friend in Goa but it was all a bit excessive for what I wanted really.

This one looks just the thing though.

Thanks for the link

We have a Nipoori too and love it. We got it in our local shop. (N.Ireland)We have a gas barbie too but my hubby believes nothing gives flavour like charcoal. It does great kebabs but you can't cook naan bread in it. We usually just buy the bread from the Asian supermarket and heat it on the top. Stick a whole onions on the bottom of chicken skewers and all the tasty tandoori flavour runs on to them. Delicious.
Happy cooking.

This looks like a decent little thing.

Spike,
That definitely looks the business but I can't justify buying another one just yet. Have to wait until I wear out the Nipoori. Will keep a note of it though for future reference.

Yes you can use it with the top off as a small barbie.
