Naan flatbread is a soft, pillowy bread originating from South Asia, commonly associated with Indian cuisine. It is traditionally cooked in a tandoor oven, which gives it a unique charred texture and smoky flavor. Made from a dough of white flour, water, yogurt or milk, and yeast, naan often contains additional ingredients like oil or ghee to enhance its richness. While naan provides energy through carbohydrates and contains small amounts of protein and calcium from dairy, it can be high in calories and fat, especially when brushed with butter or stuffed with fillings. Fiber content is typically low due to the use of refined flour. Naan is a versatile accompaniment to curries, soups, and dips, making it a popular staple across various meals. For a healthier option, whole wheat naan or recipes with reduced fat content can be chosen.
