Indian Naan
Indian naan is a traditional, flatbread that is popular in India and other parts of South Asia. It is often made with a combination of white flour, yogurt, and ghee (clarified butter). Naan is typically cooked in a tandoor, a clay oven heated with charcoal or wood. Naan is a delicious and versatile bread that can be eaten plain, topped with butter and garlic, or used to scoop up curries and other dishes. It is also a major staple in many Indian restaurants around the world.
