Naan!

As a bit of an addendum to the post on Indian side dishes, one essential part of the whole Indian dining experience, at least in our house, is a plate of naan. Naan is a flat bread common to some of the many different Indian cuisines that we find is a must for mopping up those last few molecules of lamb korma. There's a variety that we've been known to use from Tandoor Chef that can be found at Whole Foods. Family members also speak well of a naan sold by Trader Joes but since we live in a wasteland, a benighted area, inhabited only by the undead and the therapeutically challenged, we have no Trader Joes here so we cannot sample the exotic offerings therein.

The Whole Food's supplied naan isn't as good as fresh baked but for those like I, cursed with clinical laziness, it's an acceptable substitute. Especially if you get the garlic naan and brush it with melted butter right out of the oven. Pay no attention to the instructions on the box that have you baking the stuff for like 90 seconds. It really takes more like 2-3 minutes. Still it's quick and easy. Mary says that she has made naan from scratch on a pizza stone but I haven't taken up that particular challenge yet.
