There is nothing many of us like more than a visit to the local curry house. Much of the food there is cooked on coals, a traditional tandoor that gives its name to Tandoori Chicken for example uses coals to generate the great heat that cooks the meats. Nan breads are stuck to the side of the Tandoor to cook quickly.
