Chilli Naan

If you like your bread with a kick, Chilli Naan is made for you. This soft, tandoor-baked flatbread is filled with chilli and a blend of spices, so the heat and flavor are baked right into every bite. At Curry Gate, it's a bold alternative to plain naan for guests who want more spice on the table.

Naan is a traditional leavened flatbread from North India, baked against the walls of a blazing-hot tandoor oven. That intense heat gives naan its puffy texture, golden color and lightly charred spots. For Chilli Naan, the dough is filled with chopped chilli and warm spices before baking, then brushed with butter while hot. As it bakes, the spices toast inside the bread, giving it a warm, aromatic flavor with a spicy finish.

Chilli Naan has a building heat that goes well with rich, creamy curries. Try it with Butter Chicken, Chicken Korma, Chicken Tikka Masala or Paneer Butter Masala, where the cool, silky sauces balance the spice. It's also great for scooping up dal, Chana Masala or Palak Paneer. If you want the heat without garlic, Chilli Naan is the one to pick. If you love both, try our Chilli Garlic Naan too.

Chilli Naan is vegetarian and a favorite for spice lovers who want their bread to bring as much flavor as their curry.
