A delicious naan that can be pan-fried if you prefer. This bread is a staple of Indian cuisine and is traditionally baked in a tandoor. Sometimes naan is made with garlic, in which case it’s called garlic naan. Naan is often used to scoop up food in much the same way as you would use your fingers or a spoon.
