Product Overview
Tandoori Naan Rod Pair AS03 — Naan Hook and Scraper Set for All Tandoor Ovens
The Tandoori Naan Rod Pair AS03 is a matched set of two distinct food-grade stainless steel rods — a naan hook rod and a naan scraper rod — that together form a complete naan hook and scraper set. Also known as naan tools, naan sticks, naan gaddi rod, or naan skewers in different markets, this tandoori naan rod pair is the standard tool used in Indian restaurants worldwide for baking and removing flatbread from the clay wall. You need both rods to place and remove naan cleanly — the pair covers the full baking workflow from slap to removal.
Rod 1 — Naan Hook Rod
The naan hook rod has a curved end hook that holds the Tandoor Oven Naan Gaddi (AS09) during the slapping motion. You press the raw naan dough onto the gaddi, insert the rod into the gaddi’s sleeve, and use the hook to press and slap the dough firmly onto the hot clay wall of the tandoor.
- Curved hook end for secure gaddi attachment
- Ergonomic heat-resistant grip handle
- Slender stainless steel shaft — reaches to the bottom of the tandoor
- Used in step 3 of the naan baking process
Rod 2 — Naan Scraper Rod
The naan scraper rod has a flat blade end that slides under the baked naan bread to detach it cleanly from the clay wall without tearing or damaging the bread. Used together with the hook rod, it allows you to catch the bread as it peels away and lift it out of the tandoor safely.
- Flat blade end for clean under-bread separation
- Smooth edges — will not scratch the clay wall surface
- Ergonomic handle keeps hands away from the oven mouth
- Used in step 5 of the naan baking process

How to Use
How to Use Naan Rods — How to Make Naan in Tandoor Ovens
The Tandoori Naan Rod Pair AS03 is used in a specific two-rod sequence — the standard technique for how to make naan in tandoor ovens in professional restaurants. Here is the complete process for baking perfect naan bread in a tandoor oven using the naan hook rod and naan scraper rod.
Placing Naan in the Tandoor — Hook Rod
- Preheat your tandoor oven to full operating temperature. The clay walls must be radiating strong heat (900 Degree F+ for gas models) before the dough will stick. A properly preheated tandoor is essential for naan to adhere to the wall.
- Shape your naan dough and place it on the naan gaddi cushion (AS09). Wet the exposed surface of the dough lightly — this helps the naan stick to the hot clay wall.
- Insert the naan hook rod into the sleeve of the gaddi. Lower the gaddi-and-dough into the tandoor and firmly press (slap) the dough against the hot clay wall. Hold for 2–3 seconds and release.
- Withdraw the hook rod and gaddi — the naan dough should remain adhered to the clay wall. Let the naan bake for 2–3 minutes until golden with char spots.
Removing Naan from the Tandoor — Scraper Rod
- When the naan is golden and blistered, take the naan scraper rod. Carefully slide the flat blade end under one edge of the baked naan where it meets the clay wall. Apply gentle lateral pressure to release the bread.
- As the naan peels away from the wall, use the scraper rod to support it from below and guide it toward the centre of the oven and then up and out through the mouth.
- Rest the removed naan on a clean surface, brush with butter or ghee if desired, and serve immediately. Repeat the process for the next naan.
- After your baking session, clean both rods with mild soap and water and dry thoroughly before storing. The stainless steel naan rod pair requires minimal maintenance.
What You Can Bake
Tandoor Breads You Can Make with the AS03 Naan Tools
The Tandoori Naan Rod Pair AS03 is not limited to naan — it is the correct naan baking accessories tool for every clay-wall flatbread baked in a tandoor oven. Each of these breads uses the same hook-and-scraper technique to place and remove bread from the hot clay surface.

Buyer Guide
Naan Tools vs Naan Gaddi — Which Do You Need?
Many buyers confuse the AS03 naan hook and scraper set with the AS09 naan gaddi cushion. They are different tools that work together — you need both for the full naan baking process.
| Factor | AS03 Naan Tools (Hook and Scraper) | AS09 Naan Gaddi Cushion |
|---|---|---|
| What it is | 2 stainless steel rods — hook and scraper | Cloth cushion/pad that holds shaped naan dough |
| Primary Function | Operate the gaddi; remove baked naan from wall | Shape and carry raw dough to the clay wall |
| Used When | Every baking session — hook for placing, scraper for removing | Every baking session — holds dough during placement |
| Can Use Without the Other? | No — hook rod needs gaddi; scraper works alone for removal only | No — gaddi requires naan hook rod to operate inside the tandoor |
| Material | Food-grade stainless steel rods | Cotton cloth with washable cover |
| Price | $24.00 (AS03) | $29.00 (AS09) |
For a complete naan baking setup you need both — the AS09 naan gaddi to carry the dough, and the Tandoori Naan Rod Pair AS03 to operate the gaddi and remove the baked bread. Both are included in every Tandoor Morni home and copper oven package.

Professional and Restaurant Use
Restaurant Naan Rod — Professional and Commercial Kitchen Use
The Tandoori Naan Rod Pair AS03 is the standard naan tool used in Indian restaurants, catering kitchens, and commercial food service operations across the USA. Whether you need naan tools for a busy curry house or a commercial kitchen, the Tandoori Naan Rod Pair AS03 is engineered for continuous professional use.
Why Restaurants Choose the AS03
- Food-grade certified. The stainless steel naan tools meet commercial kitchen food-contact standards — safe for direct bread contact throughout continuous service.
- Ergonomic for high volume. The easy-grip naan rod ergonomic handle reduces hand fatigue during long baking sessions — critical when baking dozens of naan per service hour on a CH04 or T02.
- Dishwasher compatible. Commercial kitchen naan tool workflows require fast turnaround between baking sessions. The Tandoori Naan Rod Pair AS03 is dishwasher compatible — no hand-washing downtime during service.
- Bulk ordering available. Indian restaurants typically use 3–6 pairs of naan tools simultaneously — one pair per tandoor, plus spares. Contact Tandoor Morni at +1 (727) 251-6924 for restaurant naan rod bulk pricing.
How Many Naan Rod Pairs Do You Need?
| 1 pair | Home use (R26–R32) — sufficient for home baking sessions at normal pace |
| 2–3 pairs | Catering (CS01–CS04) — one active, one resting, one cleaning keeps service continuous |
| 4–6 pairs | Restaurant (CH and T series) — multiple cooks baking simultaneously during full service |
Naan Recipe
How to Make Naan in a Tandoor — Basic Naan Dough Recipe
Once you have the Tandoori Naan Rod Pair AS03 and the AS09 naan gaddi cushion, here is the standard naan dough recipe used in Indian restaurants — the foundation for every naan baked on a clay wall.
Basic Tandoor Naan Dough (Makes 6–8 Naan)
| Plain flour (maida) | 3 cups (375g) |
| Active dry yeast | 1 tsp |
| Warm water | 3/4 cup (180ml) |
| Plain yoghurt | 3 tbsp |
| Sugar | 1 tsp |
| Salt | 1 tsp |
| Oil or ghee | 2 tbsp |
Method
- Dissolve yeast and sugar in warm water. Rest for 10 minutes until frothy — this confirms the yeast is active.
- Combine flour and salt. Add yeast mixture, yoghurt, and oil. Knead to a smooth, soft dough — 8–10 minutes by hand or 5 minutes by mixer.
- Cover and rest for 1–2 hours until doubled in size. Punch down, divide into 6–8 balls, and rest for 15 more minutes before shaping.
- Shape each ball into a teardrop. Place on the naan gaddi, wet the surface, and use the AS03 naan hook rod to slap it onto the hot clay wall. Bake 2–3 minutes. Remove with the naan scraper rod.
For garlic naan: add minced garlic and chopped coriander to the surface before slapping. For keema naan: press spiced lamb mince into the centre before shaping and seal the dough around it.
