Detail overview
Butter Naan – Full Description:
Butter Naan is a soft, fluffy, and richly flavored Indian flatbread made from refined flour (maida) dough, leavened with yeast or yogurt for a light and airy texture. What sets it apart from plain naan is the generous brushing of melted butter—either during cooking or immediately after—giving it a soft, glossy finish and a deliciously rich flavor.
Traditionally baked in a tandoor (clay oven), Butter Naan develops slight charring and golden-brown spots that enhance its taste with a subtle smokiness. The inside remains pillowy and tender, while the outside has a gentle crispness.
Serving Suggestion:
Butter Naan is a popular choice to accompany creamy, spiced gravies like Paneer Butter Masala, Chicken Tikka Masala, Dal Makhani, or Mutton Rogan Josh. It enhances the meal with its buttery richness and is best enjoyed hot and fresh.
