Chilli Garlic Naan
For garlic lovers who like a little heat, Chilli Garlic Naan is the bread to order. It takes everything people love about classic garlic naan (soft, buttery, fragrant) and adds a spicy kick of chilli. At Curry Gate, it's a bold, flavorful flatbread that brings extra excitement to any meal.
Naan is a traditional leavened flatbread from North India, baked by slapping the dough against the walls of a blazing-hot tandoor oven. That high heat gives naan its signature puffy bubbles, lightly charred spots, and soft, chewy texture. For Chilli Garlic Naan, the dough is topped with minced garlic and chopped chilli, and often fresh cilantro. It's baked until golden, then brushed with melted butter while hot. The heat of the oven toasts the garlic, releasing its rich aroma, while the chilli adds a lively, building spice.
The result is a naan that is savory, garlicky and spicy, with a buttery finish that keeps you reaching for another piece. It's a natural partner to creamy, mild curries like Butter Chicken, Chicken Korma, Chicken Tikka Masala or Paneer Butter Masala, since the chilli heat plays nicely against the rich, silky sauces. It's also great for scooping up dal, Chana Masala or Palak Paneer.
Chilli Garlic Naan is vegetarian and a favorite for spice lovers who want more flavor in every bite.
