One of the greatest things about true Indian food is the nan bread. Fluffy, flavoursome and just perfect for dipping into your curry – and impossible to recreate at home. Here are three lovely breads – two very special nans and one other that you really have to try.
Sultana Nan
Also known as a Peshwari Nan – this bready treat is something special. Stuffed with sweet sultanas and ground almonds this bread is perfect with any curry – and equally as good dipped into cool yoghurt as a dessert!
Keema Nan
One for you meat lovers. Think the Sultana Nan, but replace the filling with spiced meat and you have the Keema Nan. A slightly heavier bread (not surprisingly given it is stuffed with meat) – but fantastic – and one to top off a good meaty dish.
Stuffed Paratha
Whilst the nan is cooked in the tandoor, a paratha is a fried whole wheat bread. Our Stuffed Paratha is filled with lovely vegetables. The paratha is slightly crispier and lighter than the full doughy nan – and is perfect for making parcels around your favourite curry.
I am going to be in Edinburgh next weekend,and your menu has already made me rethink my restaurant reservations. I think it is well worth having some hot and spicy curry in cold and freezing Scotland
