Not only is this a great addition to a traditional Indian meal, it's also delicious with lamb, vegetarian or a curry/cumin dish. This is Emeril's recipe that came with my cast iron pizza/griddle pan! Time indicated does not include rising time.

As with all of your recipes so good. Love how easy it is to make and the flavor is true Naan Bread, I brushed it at the end with melted butter with crushed garlic in it and sprinkled with course salt. Went perfect with our Indian Butter Chicken
