Naan bread

Today I present to you a recipe for Naans – traditional Indian tandoor breads, which are served with dishes such as curry or butter chicken. Unfortunately, I do not have such an oven, so I fry these breads in a dry frying pan, but you can also bake them in the regullar oven.

This pan-fried naan recipe is a great choice for Indian food lovers. They are easy to prepare and only need a few ingredients. These delicious and flexible yeast breads taste great solo, but I also like to spread some melted butter with fried garlic on them and sprinkle with parsley. They are perfect not only for Indian dishes but also for hummus or goulash.

Naan bread

Perfect for Indian sauces and pastes as well as an interesting substitute for bread.
