To enjoy this 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 slightly puffed. Alternatively, you can warm it in a toaster oven or a conventional oven at a moderate temperature for a few minutes. Some people also enjoy a light brush of melted butter or ghee over the naan after warming for added richness and flavor. Ensure it is heated through before consuming.
How it differs from similar foods
Unlike some other flatbreads, tandoori naan is traditionally baked at very high temperatures, giving it a characteristic slightly charred flavor and a soft, airy interior. The garlic infusion provides a distinct aromatic and savory note that sets it apart from plain naan.
