Naan recipe

Naan recipe

I have always wanted to try to make all of the breads from all around the world. It’s an ambitious wish, and I probably will never make even a third of the world’s breads, but making Naan can now be scratched off that bucket list. What a treat it was to have something a little exotic for dinner tonight.

I made a very simple Chicken Curry to go with the Naan. Served by itself or with rice, it’s gluten free. The naan is made with regular flour, so it is off limits to me, but the family loves it.
