About

This is very similar to naan flatbread, but differs in that it has a softer pillow-like texture because of the extra oil added to it. Usually brushed with milk and then studded with nigella and sesame seeds, this naan bread is hard to resist. It is usually eaten at breakfast time, with some slightly sweetened green or black tea, or shir chai.
