Naan

Cultural Context

Naan has its roots in the Indian subcontinent, dating back to the Mughal era. Traditionally, it was baked in a tandoor, giving it a unique texture and flavor. Naan is often served with rich curries and is a staple in Indian cuisine, symbolizing hospitality and abundance. Today, it has gained popularity worldwide, with various adaptations like garlic naan and stuffed naan, making it a beloved bread in many cultures.
