Naan Bread
Naan is one of the most popular Indian flatbreads and you can enjoy it plain (delicious dipped into curry!) or with fillings / toppings. Some popular variations are garlic naan and spinach and cheese naan. This recipe is contributed to us by Tenina. She claims they are so delicious that she ate way too many! We can back her up on that as these were one of the first breads that were made in The 4 Blades kitchen! For great preparation and cooking tips, see the video below:
