plain naan

Simple tandoor bread

Plain naan is the basic version of the South Asian leavened flatbread, without additional toppings or fillings like garlic, butter, or herbs.

It serves as a neutral accompaniment to curries and other dishes, used to scoop up food: We ordered plain naan with the lamb korma.
