Temperature Guide for Indian Cooking Temperatures for syrups, Gajak Katli Chikki, Idli batter, Dahi, Naan Dough, Khoya, Gulab Jamun Samosa Poori Naan Curry Tandoori Indian cooking lacks a standard cooking temperature guide. This is to formulate a standard guide based on my experience. The goals are 1. Take the guesswork out of cooking. 2. Prevent overcooking 3. Cook for optimum texture and flavor. 4. Meet food safety criteria. The actual temperatures may vary with the ingredients used and the recipe itself. The recommended temperature should be followed for a given task, the time will vary according to the size or amount.
