Naan
Naan is one of the most well-known Indian breads, traditionally baked in a tandoor oven. This soft, pliable, and slightly crispy bread is the perfect accompaniment to curries, dhal, or other spicy dishes. In modern kitchens, it can easily be made in a skillet, so you can enjoy authentic Indian flavors at home. If you like garlic naan, simply brush it with melted butter and minced garlic after cooking!
