Nan bread, also known as naan, is a soft and chewy flatbread widely popular in South Asian and Middle Eastern cuisines. Traditionally baked in a clay oven called a tandoor, it has a slightly charred yet tender texture. The basic ingredients include wheat flour, water, yeast, salt, and often yogurt or milk for softness and flavor. Modern variations may incorporate garlic, herbs, or cheese filling for extra taste. Nan is rich in carbohydrates and provides a quick source of energy, making it a staple accompaniment to curries, kebabs, and soups. While it contains some vitamins and minerals from flour and dairy, it can be high in calories due to added fats or oil and is relatively low in fiber. Whole-wheat versions can be healthier, offering more nutrients and fiber. Moderation and pairing with nutrient-dense dishes are key when enjoying nan bread as part of a balanced diet.
