Tandoori Nan Bread
What it is
This is a package of tandoori nan, a type of leavened flatbread traditionally baked in a tandoor, a clay oven. The nan is pre-cooked and ready to be heated. It is often made with white flour, yogurt, and yeast, giving it a slightly chewy texture and a characteristic bubbly surface. The bread is typically round or oval in shape and has a mild, slightly tangy flavor that complements many dishes.
How people cook with it
Tandoori nan is a versatile bread that can be enjoyed in many ways. It is a staple accompaniment to Indian cuisine.
- Scooping up curries
- Serving with dips
- Making quick sandwiches
- Enjoying as a side
To enjoy this tandoori nan, simply heat it before serving. You can warm it in a skillet over medium heat for a few minutes on each side until it is soft and pliable. Alternatively, you can place it directly on a gas burner for a few seconds on each side to achieve a slight char, mimicking the traditional tandoor method. It can also be warmed in an oven or a toaster oven. Ensure it is heated through before consuming.
How it differs from similar foods
Unlike other flatbreads, tandoori nan is leavened, giving it a softer, puffier texture. Its preparation in a tandoor oven imparts a unique smoky flavor and characteristic char marks that are difficult to replicate with standard home cooking methods. This results in a bread that is both tender and slightly crisp.
Who it is for
Home cooks looking to easily recreate the flavors of Indian restaurants will appreciate this product.
How to keep the rest
Once opened, store any remaining tandoori nan in an airtight container or resealable bag at room temperature for a few days. For longer storage, wrap it tightly and keep it in the refrigerator. It can also be frozen for extended freshness.
