🇮🇳 India recipe

Naan

Naan is the quintessential leavened Indian flatbread, traditionally slapped onto the scorching-hot inner walls of a clay tandoor oven where it bakes in seconds, puffing up with charred bubbles and a soft, chewy interior. This yogurt-enriched dough produces a bread that is tender, slightly tangy, and the perfect vehicle for scooping up rich curries and dals.
