🇵🇰 Pakistan recipe
Peshawari Naan
Peshawari naan is a sweet and indulgent variation of the classic naan bread, originating from the ancient city of Peshawar in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa. The soft, pillowy bread is stuffed with a rich filling of desiccated coconut, raisins, and crushed nuts, then baked against the scorching walls of a tandoor oven. The contrast of the sweet, chewy filling against the soft, slightly charred bread makes it an irresistible accompaniment to any meat dish.
