Recipe FAQ

Vegetarian Recipes — common questions

Why does naan puff up in a tandoor but not a home oven?+
The tandoor's intense, even heat cooks the dough almost instantly, trapping steam inside before the bread has a chance to dry out — that's what creates the signature puff and char.
Can I make naan without yeast?+
Most traditional naan recipes use yeast for the rise, but a yogurt-and-baking-soda version works as a same-day alternative, though the texture will be slightly denser.
Are these vegetarian recipes vegan-friendly?+
Most can be adapted by swapping dairy: use oil instead of ghee and a plant-based yogurt in the naan dough. Paneer dishes would need a tofu substitute.
What's the best naan-to-curry pairing for a full meal?+
Garlic naan pairs well with richer dishes like dal makhani or malai kofta, while a plain tandoori roti is a lighter option alongside chana masala or aloo gobi.
