Butter Naan
A soft and flavorful variation of the classic naan, Butter Naan is a pillowy flatbread baked in a traditional clay oven (tandoor) and generously brushed with melted butter immediately after cooking. Made from refined wheat flour (maida), yogurt, and a leavening agent like yeast or baking soda, the dough is kneaded and allowed to rise, resulting in naan that’s light, airy, and tender.

Once slapped onto the hot walls of the tandoor, the naan puffs up with characteristic charred spots and a slight smoky aroma. After baking, it’s lavishly brushed with warm butter, adding richness, a glossy finish, and an irresistible aroma. This buttery touch elevates the naan’s mild, slightly tangy flavor and makes it a perfect companion for creamy curries like Paneer Butter Masala, Butter Chicken, or Dal Makhani.

Served fresh and warm, Butter Naan is a beloved staple in Indian restaurants and homes alike — soft, fragrant, and absolutely delicious.
