garlic naan

Pungent Indian bread

Garlic naan is an Indian flatbread brushed or topped with garlic and often butter or ghee.

The bread is traditionally baked in a tandoor oven, producing a soft, slightly charred texture.

It's a popular accompaniment to curries and other South Asian dishes: We ordered garlic naan with our tikka masala.
