The Case Of The Exploding Tandoors

February 28, 2010

Breaking News: Fans of Chicken Tikka Masala beware. The tandoor in your favorite desi restaurant may not be safe. These ill-maintained tandoors have been blowing up all over Birmingham of late.

As if the damage to their digestive system from the super spicy Indian food wasnt bad enough, food patrons now have to bear in mind the prospect of the Tandoor, and god forbid, the entire desi food joint going up in fire.

A number of restaurant workers have been severely burned because the modern gas tandoors, used to cook chicken tikka and nan bread, were not properly maintained.

Birmingham City Council inspectors also found that at many establishments kitchen staff routinely light the ovens by throwing in burning serviettes, rather than using an ignition system. [link]

And we thought the only thing Indian food blows up is your stomach!

This is terrorism of a different kind.

    The way to the heart through the alimentaray canal was always dangerous. Now, it is patently evident too.

    Oh! That is a bad news to me and to my friends too. We always love it. But I hope we have good immunity power. So not a problem! Hope we will just manage it. ;-)
