About the dish

Nawabi naan is a traditional flatbread and a version of naan. This flatbread is basically a traditional baked naan studded with nuts. The ingredients used to prepare it include plain flour, yeast, sugar, oil, salt, cardamom, rose water, and finely chopped nuts such as almonds, pistachios, and cashews. Once it’s been rolled, the dough is sprinkled with nuts, then rolled once again so they stick to the dough. The flatbread is cooked in a tava frying pan, and it’s then usually served with spicy curries. When served, nawabi naan is often decorated with edible silver foil.
