Sainsbury's Garlic & Coriander Naans
What it is
These are soft, leavened flatbreads baked in a tandoor-style oven. They are infused with the aromatic flavors of garlic and fresh coriander. The texture is typically chewy with a slightly crisp exterior when heated. This version is suitable for those following a plant-based diet, as it contains no animal products.
How people cook with it
Naan bread is a versatile accompaniment to many meals, especially those with Indian or South Asian influences. It is perfect for scooping up sauces or serving alongside curries.
- Scoop up curry sauces
- Serve with kebabs
- Use as a base for mini pizzas
- Enjoy with dips
To enjoy these naans at their best, they can be heated in a few ways. For a soft and slightly charred result, warm them in a dry frying pan over medium heat for 1-2 minutes per side until puffed and lightly browned. Alternatively, they can be heated in a preheated oven at 180°C (160°C fan/Gas Mark 4) for 3-5 minutes. Some people also enjoy them lightly toasted under a grill, watching them closely to prevent burning.
How it differs from similar foods
Compared to traditional naan, this plant-based version omits dairy ingredients like yogurt or ghee, which are often used for richness and texture. The flavor profile is distinct due to the prominent garlic and coriander, offering a refreshing counterpoint to spicier dishes.
Who it is for
Anyone looking for a flavorful, plant-based bread to complement their meals will appreciate these naans.
How to keep the rest
Once opened, store any remaining naans in a cool, dry place in an airtight container or the original packaging. Ensure they are sealed properly to maintain their freshness and prevent them from drying out. Consume within the recommended timeframe after opening.
