Officials in Mumbai want to extinguish the charcoal tandoor
Suhel Ahmed, the owner of Tower tandoori, reckons he might have the last charcoal tandoor in London.
The oven, traditionally cylindrical and made out of clay, has been imparting a smoky flavour to naans, chicken and chops at least since his grandfather opened the restaurant in 1978.
Mr Ahmed estimates that the tandoor had already been running hot for a couple of decades under previous owners, meaning the oven would be only a little younger than an independent India.

孟买官员想熄灭木炭馕坑
Tower tandoori的老板苏赫尔·艾哈迈德估计，他可能拥有伦敦最后一个木炭馕坑。
这种传统上呈圆柱形、由黏土制成的烤炉，至少从他祖父1978年开这家餐厅起，就一直为馕、鸡肉和肉排赋予烟熏风味。
艾哈迈德先生估计，这个馕坑在前几任老板手下已经高温使用了几十年，这意味着这个烤炉只比独立的印度年轻一点点。
