Naan
Naan is a leavened, oven-baked flatbread found in the cuisines of Central and South Asia. It is a staple food in these regions, and is also popular in other parts of the world. The dough for naan is usually made from maida flour, water, yeast, and salt. It is then kneaded and shaped into balls, which are flattened and cooked in a tandoor, or clay oven.
The history of naan recipes is thought to date back to the time of the Mughal Empire in the 16th century. At that time, the dough for naan was often made with yogurt or ghee, which helped to give it a more rich and flavorful taste. In the 19th century, British colonists in India began to make naan with maida flour, which was more readily available than yogurt or ghee.
Today, there are many different variations of naan recipes, depending on the region where it is being made. In India, Pakistan, and Bangladesh, naan is often served with curries or stews. It can also be topped with garlic, cheese, or other spices. In Central Asia, naan is often served with kebabs or lamb
