Naan is a soft, pillowy bread originating from South Asian cuisine, particularly popular in Indian, Pakistani, and Afghan dishes. Traditionally cooked in a tandoor oven, naan is made using simple ingredients like wheat flour, water, yogurt, and yeast or baking powder, which give it its characteristic texture and flavor. It may be brushed with butter or ghee and sometimes topped with garlic, herbs, or seeds for added taste. While naan is rich in carbohydrates and can provide quick energy, it is typically less nutrient-dense compared to whole-grain breads. Its calorie content can increase when enriched with oils and dairy, making moderation key for those watching fat intake. Naan pairs well with protein-rich curries and vegetables, making it a versatile complement to balanced meals.
