cheese naan
Stuffed Indian bread
Cheese naan is Indian flatbread stuffed or topped with cheese, typically baked in a tandoor oven.
The cheese—often mozzarella, cheddar, or paneer—melts into the soft, pillowy bread.
It's a popular accompaniment to curries and other dishes at Indian restaurants: We ordered garlic naan and cheese naan for the table.
