Freshly baked Kashmiri naan spiced Indian bread

Kashmiri Naan - Spiced Indian Naan

Kashmiri naan is a special Indian flatbread that combines sweet and savory flavors, enriched with raisins, almonds, and shredded coconut. This naan variation, popular in Northern India, especially in the Kashmir region, is a perfect accompaniment to spicy curries but can also be enjoyed on its own. While the original naan bread has been a staple of South Asian cuisine for centuries, Kashmiri naan is a unique version often prepared for festive occasions. Its soft texture and rich flavor make it a unique experience among Indian breads.
