Whatever the culture maybe, whatever the country maybe, people always eat some kind of bread native to theirs.
Similarly in India bread plays a very important role in our daily lives. Some of the important ones are Naan, Roti, Parotha, Poori, Rumali roti etc. These are mostly eaten in India and all over the world by Indians.
Out of all these bread types especially “Naan” became very popular around the world.
Also, there are different types of Naan Bread which include garlic naan, coriander naan, peshwari naan, cheese naan etc.
