What makes Indian BBQ different from other styles of barbecue?

Indian BBQ stands out because it combines traditional grilling with bold Indian spices and marinades. It creates a deeper, more aromatic flavor than other styles. While American and Korean BBQ focus on sauces and rubs, Indian BBQ relies on marination using yogurt, turmeric, cumin, chili, ginger, garlic, and garam masala. These spices soak into the meat, fish, or vegetables, giving them smoky and rich flavors when cooked in a tandoor or over open flames. This method not only boosts taste but also keeps the food healthier. The marinade tenderizes the meat naturally, reducing the need for oils or artificial ingredients.
