Soft, pillowy, and irresistibly chewy, naan is the perfect companion to curries, dips, and grilled meats. Originating from Central and South Asia, with influences from the Middle East, naan has become a beloved staple in kitchens around the world. Interestingly, the word "naan" itself means bread, so calling it "naan bread" is a bit redundant — much like saying "chai tea" or "table mesa."
