Naan is a soft Indian flatbread baked by sticking it to the wall of a tandoor oven. The dough is usually leavened with yeast or yogurt, which gives it a light, slightly puffy texture. Beyond the plain version there are garlic, butter and cheese kinds. A good naan stays soft inside while the edges puff up and char a little. In Baku people order it alongside curry dishes, since it is the ideal way to scoop up sauce. It is best eaten hot.
