Garlic Naan is one of the most popular sides for any grilled or curry dish. It is soft, warm, and lightly crisp on the edges with a clear garlic flavor in every bite. At Ya Habibi Kabab & Karahi in Astoria, NY, our Garlic Naan is made fresh to order so it comes out hot with the right texture. It is simple but adds a lot to the overall meal.
Garlic Naan is all about balance. The bread should be soft inside, slightly crisp outside, and not too thick or dry. We prepare the dough fresh and top it with garlic and light butter for flavor. The garlic is not overpowering. It is spread evenly so each bite has a consistent taste.
Garlic Naan is shaped by hand and placed in a hot tandoor. The high heat helps it cook quickly while keeping the inside soft.
As it cooks, the surface forms light golden spots. Once done, it is brushed with butter and finished with fresh garlic. It is served immediately so you get the best texture and flavor.
Garlic Naan is not heavy, but it is more filling than plain naan because of the butter and garlic.
Garlic Naan pairs very well with Chicken Karahi, Goat Karahi, Chicken Malai Karahi, and most grilled items like Chicken Tikka.
Garlic Naan is soft inside with a slightly crisp edge from the tandoor.
