Did you know?
Naan originates from Persian cuisine and spread across South Asia during Mughal rule.
Traditionally, naan is baked in a tandoor oven, which gives it its signature charred and soft texture.
Variants include stuffed naan, such as paneer naan, keema naan, and garlic naan.
The name “naan” literally means “bread” in Persian.
Drawbacks ⚠️
Often made with refined flour, which has lower fiber and fewer nutrients.
Can be high in sodium, especially when topped with salted butter or cheese.
Some packaged naan may contain preservatives and added sugars.
