Naan bread is a traditional Indian bread that is commonly served with curries, palak paneer, butter chicken, and many other dishes. It is a yeast-based bread that is typically baked in a tandoor oven, but can also be made at home in a regular oven. In this recipe, we have added garlic and coriander-cilantro to the bread to add extra flavor. Naan bread is a great option for those who are gluten-free or have celiac disease, as it can be made with gluten-free flours as well.
