Naan Naan is a leavened flatbread traditionally cooked in a tandoor. However it can be baked in an oven or even tawa-fried. But here we have cooked it in a pressure cooker. It is characterized by a light and fluffy texture and golden-brown spots got from the baking process. It can be served with any vegetarian or non-vegetarian curry.
