Indian Food Bread Favorites Part 2

Here at Seattle India Bistro in Ballard we offer delicious and authentic Indian breads to pair with our delicious Indian food dishes including a variety of naan breads which are our specialty.

In Indian cooking flatbreads are perfect and necessary accompaniment to any dish. Each has its own unique identity and fan-base. However, one single flatbread has been the front runner in terms of addictiveness across India is Naan. It was developed around 2,500 years ago, due to an experiment after the arrival of yeast in India from Egypt. Naan is cooked in a tandoor, from which tandoori cooking gets its name, as described in our previous blog. Modern naan recipes may substitute baking powder for yeast. It is so beloved in Indian cuisine as it can be used as a vehicle to scoop other foods and gravies or served stuffed with a filling.

 

In our last blog we featured some of the naan bread selections from our menu. We have more than enough naan options here in Seattle, WA to fill your cravings. Here are a few more naan breads from our menu that are not to be missed! 

Spinach Naan – Traditional naan stuffed with spinach and spices. This pairs well with many of our dishes including the vegetarian ones, try it with your next order!

Peshwari Naan – Naan filled with cherries and nuts. One of the best combinations around, not only for trail mix, but also in naan. This is a delicious treat and should be tried with many of our menu items to see how it becomes even more enhanced by the various flavors of our dishes.

Mint Naan – Naan stuffed with fresh mint. In Indian Food mint is widely used in chutneys, relishes, salads, sauces and teas. So believe us when we say it’ll pair remarkably well with many of our main courses.

Keema Naan – Naan stuffed with minced lamb and blended with spices and herbs. This is one could be a meal on its own! Consider it an appetizer or a great complement to your entree of choice.
