How to make Naan
TriviaNaan is Persian word that means bread. In Balochi it is spelled as nagan, nayan in Pashto, and nyn in Sogdian. Started off from Central Asia, naan has now successfully made way to the Western countries. It is usually seen as a generic word denoting plain bread, but in the Indian subcontinent, naan refers to a certain bread type that is slightly thick and is close to pita bread in appearance. Naan is often mixed with Roti, considering that both are flat breads. The difference is in their ingredients; naan is made with all-purpose flour whilst Roti is made with whole-wheat flour. |
