I was inspired by Ruth to make this and see what it was all about. I am so jealous that she is so creative and motivated to find these things and then make them:) They were good. However, not something I really knew what to do with...

Naan bread is very common in Indian (as in India, not Native American) food. When we eat at Indian restaurants, my kiddos LOVE it. When I get back to my real kitchen, with gadgets, mixers and tools I'll have to make some. They will be so happy.

I love naan! I've never seen a recipe for it made in the breadmaker. (I guess I've never looked for a recipe before...) I might have to try this!

hey Tess, Bianca here from Mumbai, India. We eat naan here as an accompaniment to vegetable or meat curries, but only the north indian(punjabi or mughlai) curries. Since it's a little difficult to digest, it's substituted with roti in daily meals, which is a healthier option. Naans are yummy though...you should try butter garlic naan....it's a family favourite :D happy cookin!
