Tandoori Pork on the Outdoor Grill
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.

Preparation Soak 8 wooden skewers in water overnight. To make the marinade, combine all the ingredients in a nonreactive bowl. Cut the pork into 1-inch cubes. Add the pork to the marinade, toss to coat and refrigerate for at least 3 hours. Set up the outdoor grill for direct-heat cooking over high heat. Thread the pork onto the skewers (use gloves to avoid staining your hands) and cook on the grill for 5 minutes on each side or until cooked through. Warm the naan bread briefly on the grill and serve with the tandoori pork, yogurt and cucumber.
