I squirm at the thought of dipping cookies into milk. Crumbs in my beverage? Nothankyou. I will make an exception for the occasional biscotti.
But when it comes to dunking bread of any type into saucy foods, soups, stews, etc. I am totally, 150% on board with that action.
This is a simple way to dress up store-bought naan. It packs a ton of flavor - perfect for garlic lovers! The cilantro breaks it up and adds a bit of freshness that goes with most Indian curries.
My husband and I absolutely love this stuff, and it's super simple to make. It's easily halved, doubled, quadrupled, etc. We like to snip the finished naan into triangles with kitchen scissors and dunk away!
Note - it's totally possible to find vegan naan, and vegan butter works well here, too, if dairy is a concern in your home.
We love pairing this naan with pullao or cilantro lime rice and cucumber raita with our Indian dinners. YUM!

What a great idea! I always keep naan in the freezer for impromptu pizzas, now I'll keep it for this!
Karen says
This sounds so good! I've got naan on my list of breads to try, and dressing it up this way sound perfect!
Danielle says
I like to use olive oil instead of butter. Lightens it up with the calories a bit!
Ashley says
That’s a great idea!!
danielle says
No it doesn't. If either of these has more fat, it's olive oil. These are different types of fat but calorie for calorie, OO has slightly more most of the time.

Super easy and packed full of flavor! I've used both store bought naan and flatbread using this recipe. Both turned out great. Mega noms!!

I’m so glad you enjoyed this, Kelley!
