Nan

A leavened, oven-baked (usually using a tandoor) or tawa-fried flatbread, naan is a staple in various cuisines across the globe. Its origins trace back to Iran, but it has found its way into the hearts (and stomachs) of people in the Indian subcontinent, Afghanistan, Central Asia, Indonesia, Malaysia, Myanmar, and the Caribbean.

• Texture and Appearance: Naan is characterized by its light and slightly fluffy texture and golden-brown spots from the baking process.
• Ingredients: Primarily composed of white or wheat flour, naan dough develops air pockets that contribute to its fluffiness. Other key ingredients include yeast, warm water, salt, ghee (clarified butter), and yogurt. Optional additions like milk, egg, or honey enhance its flavor.
