Tandoori naan is a popular type of Indian bread that is typically cooked in a tandoor, a traditional clay oven. It is a staple accompaniment to many Indian dishes and is enjoyed by people all over the world.

To make tandoori naan, a dough is prepared using all-purpose flour, yeast, yogurt, salt, sugar, and sometimes baking powder. The dough is kneaded until it becomes soft and elastic. It is then left to rise for a couple of hours, allowing the yeast to activate and ferment the dough.

Once the dough has risen, it is divided into smaller portions and rolled out into oval or round shapes. Before cooking, the naan is often brushed with water or butter to keep it moist and to help it stick to the walls of the tandoor.

Traditionally, a tandoor is a cylindrical clay oven that is heated to high temperatures using charcoal or wood. The naan is then stuck to the walls of the tandoor and cooked until it puffs up and develops a slightly charred and smoky flavor. The intense heat of the tandoor gives the naan its distinctive texture and taste.

In modern kitchens, tandoori naan can also be prepared using a regular oven or a stovetop. The oven should be preheated to a high temperature, and the naan can be cooked on a baking sheet or a pizza stone. Alternatively, a stovetop griddle or a cast-iron skillet can be used to cook the naan over medium-high heat.

Tandoori naan is often served hot and brushed with ghee (clarified butter) or butter. It pairs well with a variety of Indian dishes such as curries, kebabs, and tandoori chicken. It can also be enjoyed on its own as a snack or with dips like raita or chutney.

Note: The process described above is a general overview of making tandoori naan. There may be variations in the recipe and cooking method based on regional and personal preferences.
