What Is Naan?
For centuries, naan has been a staple of Indian cuisine. This delicious flatbread is traditionally made by cooking it in a tandoor or clay oven. It gives the naan a uniquely chewy texture and a delicious smoky flavor. Naan is often served with curries and other rich dishes, but it can also enjoy on its own. Whether dipping it in yogurt or simply spreading some butter on top, naan is a truly versatile and delicious bread that is sure to satisfy. So next time you are looking for something new, be sure to give naan a try. You won’t be disappointed.
How to Make
Making naan at home is relatively easy, and you don’t need a tandoor oven to get the job done. Combine wheat flour, water, and yogurt in a bowl and knead into a soft dough. Then, let it rest for 30 minutes, allowing the gluten to develop. Divide the dough into 8–10 balls when it has rested, then roll each into a thin disc.
To cook the naan, heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add 1-2 tablespoons of oil to the pan and swirl to coat. Place the naan discs in the pan and cook for 2-3 minutes per side until golden brown and slightly puffy. Serve warm with your favorite curry or dipping sauce. Enjoy!
