Our Peshwari Naan is filled with a sweet mixture of coconut, almonds and raisins, then baked in the tandoor. Soft and lightly sweet, it’s a delicious contrast to spicy curries.
A dish with a story
Origins
Naan arrived in India with Persian and Central Asian cooks; the word simply means ‘bread’ in Persian.
Regional tradition
Baked against the walls of the tandoor, it became a Mughal court favourite in northern India.
Modern dish
Now the most famous Indian bread in the world, with endless variations.
⚠️ A little amateur historian’s disclaimer
