Indian cuisine gets my vote for this reason amongst others. Naan is usually baked in a tandoor, which makes it more or less "fire baked." That's difficult to replicate at home.

Also, beyond making chana masala, I've never really attempted to make any Indian dishes. All those spices, chilies, yogurt, and ghee, I just leave it to the chefs.

I'll never have a tandoor in my kitchen.
