Detail overview
Cheese Naan – Full Description:
Cheese Naan is a rich and indulgent take on the classic Indian flatbread, stuffed with a gooey, melty cheese filling. Made from refined wheat flour (maida) dough that's been leavened with yeast or yogurt, the naan is soft and fluffy on the inside with a slightly crisp exterior.
The dough is rolled out, filled generously with grated cheese—commonly processed cheese, mozzarella, or a blend—and sealed before being cooked in a tandoor (traditional clay oven) or on a hot griddle. The intense heat creates a light char, puffed texture, and smoky flavor, while the cheese inside melts to a smooth, creamy consistency.
Topped with:
A brush of melted butter or ghee, and optionally garnished with herbs like coriander or a sprinkle of chili flakes for a hint of heat.
Serving Suggestion:
Cheese Naan is often enjoyed on its own as a savory snack or appetizer, but it also pairs wonderfully with rich curries like Paneer Butter Masala, Chicken Tikka Masala, or Dal Makhani. Loved by cheese lovers, it adds a luxurious twist to any Indian meal.
