Naan
Naan is a type of soft, chewy flatbread originating from South Asia, particularly India. Made from basic ingredients like wheat flour, water, yogurt, and a leavening agent, it is traditionally baked in a tandoor, a cylindrical clay oven that gives it a distinctive charred flavor and airy texture. Naan can be plain or infused with herbs, garlic, or other toppings. It is commonly served alongside curries and other dishes, functioning as both a utensil and a bread to scoop up food. Its versatility and rich flavor make it a popular accompaniment in many cuisines.
