About Plain naan

Plain naan is a traditional flatbread originating from South Asian cuisine, commonly enjoyed in Indian, Pakistani, and Afghan dishes. Made with a simple mix of white flour, water, yogurt, and yeast, it’s typically cooked in a tandoor oven, which gives it a soft texture and signature charred spots. Naan is versatile and pairs well with curries, stews, or can be eaten plain. While delicious, it is calorie-dense due to its refined flour and sometimes added butter or oil in preparation. It provides carbohydrates for energy and small amounts of protein and calcium from yogurt, but it lacks significant fiber or vitamins compared to whole-grain alternatives. Moderation is key, particularly for those managing calorie intake or blood sugar levels. For a healthier variation, some recipes incorporate whole wheat flour or reduce added fats for a lighter and more nutritious option.
