What it is
Kontos Tandoori Naan is a soft, leavened flatbread traditionally baked in a tandoor oven. It is made with wheat flour, water, and yeast, giving it a slightly chewy texture and a mild, satisfying flavor. This naan is pre-cooked, making it a convenient option for quick meals and appetizers. Its characteristic char marks, often present from the high-heat baking process, add to its authentic appeal and taste.

To enjoy Kontos Tandoori Naan, simply warm it before serving. You can heat it in a dry skillet over medium heat for a minute or two per side until it is soft and pliable. Alternatively, it can be warmed in a toaster oven or briefly in a microwave. For an extra touch, brush with melted butter or ghee and sprinkle with chopped cilantro or garlic before serving. This quick preparation makes it ideal for busy weeknights or impromptu gatherings.
How it differs from similar foods
Unlike some other flatbreads, this tandoori naan has a distinctively soft and slightly airy texture due to its leavening. The traditional tandoor baking imparts a subtle smoky flavor and often creates small, irregular char spots, setting it apart from mass-produced, uniformly baked breads.

How to keep the rest
Store any unused naan in its original packaging at room temperature. For longer storage, you can refrigerate the bread. Once opened, it is best to consume the naan within a few days to maintain its freshness and soft texture.
