5001977 NAAN FLAT BREAD WHITE PRE-FOLDED chicken tandoori

NAAN FLAT BREAD WHITE PRE-FOLDED, chicken tandoori marinated in a yogurt lime sauce with warm bold spices, grilled and drizzled with a tangy yogurt sauce, wrapped in naan bread.

OTHER IDEAS

  • Replace the pre-cooked chicken tandoori with pre-cooked chicken masala.
  • Vegetarian recipe: replace the meat with grilled halloumi dices or curry flavoured tofu cubes.

Naan bread is typically served hot and brushed with some water but in some other cultures such as those in the Indian Subcontinent, they brush ghee or butter. 

These Naan breads are very versatile in use and suitable for different occasions: As a sandwich carrier, a pizza base, a panini, grilled in a contact-grill,  as such, to scoop other foods or as appetizer, filled and cut into smaller wedges.
