What leavened flatbread, often teardrop-shaped, is traditionally baked against the clay walls of a tandoor oven?
Show answer
Naan
Naan is a staple in Central and South Asian cuisines, traditionally made with yogurt or yeast to give it a soft, pillowy texture. Its iconic teardrop shape occurs naturally when the dough stretches as it is slapped onto the vertical wall of a scorching hot tandoor oven.
