Soft, chewy naan infused with fresh garlic and green onions—this twist on traditional Indian flatbread is fragrant, flavorful, and perfect with curries, soups, or even as a snack on its own.
Origin Green Onion Garlic Naan Bread
Naan originated in Central and South Asia, traditionally baked in a clay tandoor. This version adds a modern, fusion twist with garlic and green onion, blending Indian technique with global flavors.
What I Love About This Recipe
The aroma of sizzling garlic and green onions is irresistible. I love how the naan puffs up with golden, blistered spots, and the soft texture makes it perfect for scooping up gravies or wrapping up grilled veggies and meats. It’s simple, yet feels gourmet.
