Kwa nini

Mwili laini, unaonata hutoka kwa maziwa: mtindi au maziwa kwenye unga, na brashi ya ghee au siagi baada ya kuoka. Baadhi ya naan za maduka makubwa na chapati nyingi, roti na mikate ya tandoori roti hazina maziwa.

What is actually in it

Naan is a leavened flatbread slapped onto the wall of a tandoor, and almost every element of its texture comes from enrichment. Yoghurt supplies acid and lactose that tenderise the gluten and brown the surface; milk powder adds sugars for colour; ghee brushed on at the end gives the gloss and the aroma people associate with it. A vegan version works if you replace like for like: thick unsweetened soy or coconut yoghurt for the dairy yoghurt (soy has enough protein to behave similarly), a little sugar to feed the yeast and help browning at domestic oven temperatures, and melted plant butter or garlic-infused oil for the finish. Domestic ovens rarely exceed 250 °C against a tandoor's 400 °C-plus, so the standard workaround is a screaming-hot cast-iron pan, dry, with a lid for the last thirty seconds. Restaurant ordering is simpler than it looks: chapati, roti and phulka are unenriched by tradition, so they are the safe default while you check whether the kitchen's naan and paratha use ghee.
