Butter Naan is a world-renowned Indian leavened flatbread traditionally baked in a cylindrical clay oven known as a tandoor. It is made from a soft dough of refined flour, yogurt, and yeast, which results in a pillowy and elastic texture. Once cooked, the bread is brushed with a lavish amount of salted butter, enhancing its richness and aroma. The taste is mildly nutty with a buttery finish that perfectly complements spicy curries. This bread is a mandatory accompaniment for special dinner parties and restaurant-style Indian meals.
