Butter naan, ranked seventh on the list, is a beloved dish in India. This soft, flatbread, often prepared using a tandoor (a traditional clay oven) or a tawa (a flat cooking utensil made with cast iron or aluminum), stands out for its light and slightly fluffy texture.
Naan is primarily made of wheat flour, with other key ingredients including salt, water, ghee or butter, and yogurt. The dough is rolled into balls, flattened, and then pressed against the tandoor’s inner walls. Alternatively, naan can also be cooked on a tawa. Once baked, naan is typically coated with butter and garlic and served with popular dishes like Butter Chicken.
