PLAIN NAAN

Description

A beloved Indian bread, Plain Naan is a soft, leavened flatbread made with refined flour (maida), yogurt, yeast or baking powder, salt, and water, kneaded into a smooth dough and allowed to rise for a light and airy texture. Traditionally, naan is cooked in a tandoor (clay oven), giving it a slightly charred, smoky flavor with golden brown spots and a deliciously chewy texture. Some variations include a light brushing of butter or ghee for added richness.

Naan is hugely popular across India, especially in cities like Delhi, Amritsar, Lucknow, and Mumbai, where it is served in dhabas, restaurants, and special gatherings. Unlike simple rotis, naan is often reserved for festive meals and special occasions, making it a favorite in Indian cuisine.

Perfectly paired with creamy curries like butter chicken, paneer tikka masala, dal makhani, and kebabs, Plain Naan soaks up flavors beautifully, making every bite a delightful experience. Whether enjoyed in traditional Indian meals or modern fusion dishes, this iconic bread is a true comfort food loved worldwide!
