NaanM

Naan is a popular Indian flatbread originating from the Indian subcontinent, particularly prevalent in North Indian and Mughlai cuisines. Made from refined wheat flour and leavened with yeast or yogurt, it is baked in a clay tandoor oven, resulting in a soft and slightly charred texture.

It is typically served hot alongside rich curries, lentils, or tandoori dishes, making it a staple in Indian meals. Naan is often brushed with butter or garlic for added flavor.

From a nutrition perspective, naan provides a moderate energy source mainly from carbohydrates and some protein, with minimal fat from baking. According to available data, it contains significant phosphorus, a mineral important for bone health and energy metabolism.
