📖 The Story Behind This Dish

Traditionally slapped onto the inner wall of a blazing-hot tandoor oven, naan can also come out beautifully close to the real thing cooked in a home skillet. It doubles as edible cutlery, scooping up curry and dal at the table.

🌆 Where it's eaten: Tearing off a piece of hot, fresh naan to scoop up butter chicken or dal sauce — eating with your hands is the traditional way.
