Tandoori Naan

Cultural Context

Tandoori Naan has its roots in the Indian subcontinent, traditionally baked in a clay oven called a tandoor. This bread is a staple in many households and is often served with rich curries and stews. Its unique texture and flavor come from the high heat of the tandoor, which creates a slightly charred exterior while keeping the inside soft and chewy. Today, Naan is enjoyed globally, with many variations incorporating different toppings and flavors, making it a versatile accompaniment to various cuisines.
