Tandoori Pork on the Outdoor GrillAnson Smart

Anthony Ross, executive chef at the Langham Hotel in Melbourne, once took me on a tour of the kitchen. The food there is amazing and so I asked Anthony for his recipe for pork belly tandoori as it is my favorite. He said it was quite funny because in India pork isn't really seen as a popular choice for tandoori, but in Australia it is his bestseller. I have changed the pork belly to loin as it suits the grill better.

Note:

Fenugreek, Indian chile paste and mustard oil are available from Indian grocery stores or large Asian markets.
