Naan bread was already a hit among Mughal royalty, but they were missing something \u2013 a little extra flavor! So, they decided to add a pinch of garlic to the dough, and voila! Garlic naan was born!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">But garlic&#8217;s influence on Indian cuisine goes back even further than the Mughal empire. It has been used for centuries for both its delicious taste and its medicinal properties. In fact, ancient Ayurvedic texts recommend garlic as a remedy for everything from the common cold to digestive issues. So, it&#8217;s no surprise that the addition of garlic to naan dough was a match made in heaven.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">As time went on, the popularity of naan spread throughout India, becoming a staple in households and restaurants alike. But it wasn&#8217;t until the globalization of Indian cuisine that garlic naan really took off.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">How to make garlic naan from scratch?<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Making garlic naan is a skill in itself. The dough is kneaded until it&#8217;s smooth and stretchy, then rolled out and cooked in a tandoor oven. Traditionally, garlic naan is made using a tandoor oven, which is a cylindrical clay oven that&#8217;s heated to extremely high temperatures. The dough is shaped into a flat disc, then slapped onto the walls of the tandoor, where it cooks quickly. The intense heat of the tandoor oven gives the naan its signature charred and bubbly texture, while the garlic and yogurt infuse the bread with a tangy, savory flavor.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">What does garlic naan pair well with?\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u00a0Serve as a side dish with Asian or Middle Eastern meals.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Top with sauteed vegetables and cheese for a quick flatbread pizza.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Dip in soup or stew as a tasty bread accompaniment.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Make a naan quesadilla with your favorite fillings and melted cheese.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Serve with homemade dip or salsa.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Make a naan bruschetta with diced tomatoes, basil, and balsamic vinegar.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Toast and use as a cracker for a charcuterie board.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Cut it into small pieces and use as croutons in a salad.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Use as a substitute for pita bread in a falafel wrap.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Toast and top with hummus, tzatziki, or avocado.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Grill and top with herbs and cheese for a delicious snack with tea.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">We hope these ideas help you make the most out of your <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/shanafoods.ca\/product\/garlic-naan-201268\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Shana Garlic Naan<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">!
