Gourmet India Original Tandoori Naan
What it is
This is a pre-made flatbread, baked in a style that traditionally uses a tandoor oven. It is designed to be a convenient way to enjoy the taste and texture of authentic Indian naan at home. The bread is soft and slightly chewy, with characteristic char marks from high-heat baking. It is a versatile accompaniment to many dishes.
How people cook with it
Naan is a staple in Indian cuisine, often served alongside curries and other flavorful main courses. It is also enjoyed on its own or as a base for various toppings.
- Scooping up sauces
- Serving with curries
- Making quick wraps
- Enjoying with dips
To prepare, you can warm the naan in a skillet over medium heat for a minute or two per side until soft and slightly puffed. Alternatively, it can be heated in an oven at 350°F (175°C) for a few minutes, or even briefly toasted in a toaster. Ensure it is heated through before serving. This method brings out its fresh, baked qualities and makes it pliable for dipping or folding.
How it differs from similar foods
Unlike some other flatbreads, tandoori naan is traditionally baked at very high temperatures, giving it a unique texture and slight smoky flavor. Its leavened dough also results in a softer, airier bread compared to unleavened options.
Who it is for
Home cooks looking for an easy way to add an authentic Indian bread to their meals will appreciate this product.
How to keep the rest
After opening, store any remaining naan in a sealed plastic bag or airtight container at room temperature for a day or two. For longer storage, refrigerate the bread to maintain its freshness, or freeze it for up to a month.
