Naan, a staple of Indian cuisine, is a soft, leavened flatbread traditionally cooked in a tandoor oven. Made primarily from refined wheat flour, water, yogurt, and yeast or baking powder, its fluffy texture is complemented by a subtle tang from the yogurt. Naan is often brushed with butter or ghee, enhancing its richness. While it’s a delicious accompaniment to curries and grilled dishes, its nutritional profile includes carbohydrates as a primary source of energy with some protein and fat. However, naan made with refined flour may lack fiber compared to whole-grain options. Variations like garlic naan or whole wheat naan can provide additional flavor or nutrients. While naan is best enjoyed as an occasional indulgence, pairing it with nutrient-rich dishes like lentil-based dals or vegetable curries can balance the meal and boost its overall nutritional value.
