A curry serves best with naan that is unleavened bread. Traditionally made in ‘Tandoor or clay oven' but at home, we will be making it in the oven and/or on the stovetop. Naan is not eaten solely but acts as assortments with meat, veggies, or egg items.

1. Put the yeast and sugar to warm milk in a large mixing bowl and stir well. Leave it for 3-5 minutes.
|
||
2. Put the flour and salt into a large mixing bowl and whisk to combine. Sprinkle additional flour as needed to keep the dough from sticking to the sides.

4. Knead the dough again, sprinkle all-purpose flour, and knead until smooth.
