| Garlic Naan Bread |
A note of naan bread was first mentioned in the writing of Indo-Persian poet Amir Khusroo in 1300 AD. It was originally cooked at the Imperial Court in Delhi as naan-e-tunuk (light bread) and naan-e-tanuri (cooked in a tandoor oven). During the Mughal era in India from around 1526, Naan accompanied by keema or kebab was a popular breakfast food of the royals. Now-a-days, it is an Indian cuisine served hot with some spicy curry, very popular as a South Asian food especially in Northern Area of India, Pakistan, Afghanistan, Bangladesh, Iran, Uzbekistan, Tajizkistan and surrounding areas.
