Think Nawabi, and luxury is the first word that comes to mind! Indeed, what better way to recreate that richness than by using mixed nuts. This scrumptious Nawabi Naan is an amazing creation of traditional tandoori naan studded with nuts. This gives you a lovely texture and mildly sweet flavour as you chew on the naan. Once you sprinkle the nuts on the rolled dough, roll it lightly once again, so that they stick to the dough and do not fall off when cooked in the tava. Serve this naan with a tangy, spicy Subzis / Curries to make a memorable meal.

nawabi naan.. this naan is actually very nawabi.. perfectly soft with lots of crushed nuts over it.. which makes you feel royal in each bite.. the crunchy flavour of the nuts gives a nice taste to the naan.. and the butter brushed on top keeps it soft..
