Talk:Tandoor

message: Sikhism forbids only the consumption of halal meat, not all meat, and leaves the choice to the individual Sikh.
Really?  Why should Sikhs not eat halal meat?  Groogle 05:21, 9 December 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Firstly, Muslim & Sikh butchers would use different prayers at the time of execution.  Aside from that, from what I understand, for halal the animal's neck is slit or smaller animals are decapitated, and the carcass is hung inverted so that all blood can leave the body without clotting.  Only then is the animal dressed.  Most Sikhs I know prefer a different method which involves breaking the animal's neck as the COD.  I think it's called the "Jerk Method", or something to that effect.  No idea how they break a cow's neck.  --LuciferBlack 03:52, 13 December 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Meat and Sikhism 

message: According to the current text, "The chicken is marinated in a yogurt seasoned with garam masala - garlic, ginger, cumin, cayenne pepper, and other spices depending on the recipe. It is traditionally quite hot."
I have a couple of problems with this: firstly it suggests that garam masala contains the other ingredients, which it most certainly does not.  Secondly, Northern Indian food is normally not hot, and I don't know any tanduri recipe that I would conside authentic that is also hot (i.e. peppery).  I'd suggest changing this unless somebody can come up with convincing proof of the claim. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Groogle (talk • contribs) 05:25, 9 December 2006 (UTC)

message: "The oldest example of a tandoor was found in the Harappa and Mohenjo Daro settlements of the ancient Indus Valley Civilization" - cool, but.. when was that?  10k years ago?  5k?  1k?  —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 70.81.253.163 (talk • contribs) 02:51, 9 February 2007  (UTC) 
:I've made Harappa and Mohenjo Daro into links so that someone could more easily satisfy their curiosity.  Shenme 03:54, 26 February 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Oldest example 

message: Okay, first, more references. I'm trying to add some construction information, though beyond that a little more information such things as fuel efficiency and the like are called for, as well as more pictures of tandoors and less food. The recipes are all well and good but sort of miss the point, IMHO. Haikupoet (talk) 01:58, 28 January 2008 (UTC)

message: I don't think that the Sanskrit word Kandu is related to the word Tandur here...—ШαмıQ✍ @ 19:00, 6 November 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: Hello. Whatever our personal opinions may be, there is a reference for it. What's more the body had mentioned sanskrit--that was not even my edit. The article itself notes how assorted tandoors have been found on the subcontinent dating back several thousand years, so it is a viable theory that we have to respect.

thread_title:  Kandu 

message: In 2008 & 2009 errors in the article had been pointed out that have not yet be edited. Under "History" it points out that the word Tandoor originates from the Akkadian word Tinuru yet oddly it states "As such" the word may not be of Semitic or Iranian origin. The phrase "as such" is a phrase of reflection regarding what had been previously stated. As if to say "because" it is of Akkadian origin it is not of a Semitic or Iranian language. The error is simple. The now defunct reference site must have given the impression that Akkadians were not Semitic. Wikipedia states that Akkadian "is an extinct Semitic language" while it also states that the "The Akkadian Empire was an ancient Semitic empire" Mazighe (talk) 01:47, 3 May 2014 (UTC)
replies: text: The article says that the Tandoor "may not be Semitic or Iranian in origin" even though it cites Avestan and Pahlavi as possible progenitors of the word, both of which are languages in the Indo-Iranian language family. KaraiBorinquen (talk) 03:05, 11 April 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Agreed...also, Akkadian is a semitic language as well. If there was an elamite word for it then maybe the non-semitic/iranic origin has credence. The tandoor in the form as it is known now probably arrived in the subcontinent with islamic invaders. --Sakredfire (talk) 15:33, 16 December 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: I think the origin of Tanure is come from word of Tanooreh in ancient persian. In ancient persian tanooreh was the situtation when Div(monster) would open their mouth and heat/fire would come up, like fire from dragon mouth in chineese myth. Also the mid day of hot summer sun compare to tanooreh too.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 50.67.253.85 (talk) 21:15, 8 July 2016 (UTC)
replies: text: Any good, reliable sources yet to close a discussion (here) based on personal opinions, no matter how interesting they are? Right now, the article section is a chain of bits & peaces collected from sources with variable reliability (Wiktionary?!) and stringed together in an adventurous manner. It's obvious that the d in the middle is wide-spread in the Persianate world, but the original Persian world quoted there doesn't have it, so that it remains unclear where and when it was added. The etymology can and must be connected to the technical evolution and differences, as technologies and their names usually travel together. Arminden (talk) 13:43, 18 December 2021 (UTC)
thread_title: Tandoor Etymology

message: The etymology given (Akkadian tin "mud" and nuro/nura "fire") is likely folk etymology, since already in Sumerian the word was known as duruna. See  the Sumerian word duruna or English oven. --Ferhengvan (talk) 20:35, 15 January 2020 (UTC)
thread_title:  Sumerian "duruna" 

message: Confusing: according to the etymology section, the Persian word tanur is derived from the Akkadian, and from there on it was the origin of the respective term sin all other languages. Might imply that the technical concept was also passed on from Persia to everyone else, but was it? What about the Arabs and their tannur? As I have written above at "Tandoor Etymology", the origin and local variant of the term is normally connected to the technical evolution and "cultural wanderings & borrowings" between civilisations, as technologies and their name ususually travel together.
