How people cook with it

To enjoy this naan bread, simply remove it from the packaging. It can be heated in a dry frying pan over medium heat for 1-2 minutes per side until warm and slightly puffed. Alternatively, it can be heated under a preheated grill for about 1 minute per side, watching carefully to prevent burning. For a quicker option, it can be microwaved for 15-20 seconds. It is best served warm.
How it differs from similar foods
Compared to other flatbreads, naan's leavened dough gives it a lighter, softer texture. The addition of garlic and herbs provides a more pronounced flavor profile than plain naan. Its characteristic slight charring from high-heat cooking methods also sets it apart.

Home cooks looking to add authentic flavor and texture to their meals will find this naan bread convenient.
How to keep the rest
Once opened, store any remaining naan bread in an airtight container or resealable bag at room temperature. For longer storage, it can be refrigerated. It is best consumed within a few days of opening for optimal freshness and texture.
