Kashmiri Naan | Traditional Flatbread From Jammu and Kashmir, India | TasteAtlas

Kashmiri naan

(कश्मीरी नान)

Kashmiri naan is a traditional flatbread and a variety of naan originating from Kashmir, a state that borders India and Pakistan. The dough is made with a combination of flour, yeast, salt, sugar, dahi, and ghee. Once rolled, the dough is filled with dried fruits, nuts, and spices such as raisins, almonds, cashews, cumin, and fenugreek.


The naan is then baked in a hot tava pan until fully cooked, a bit puffy, and golden brown. This type of sweet naan is usually served for breakfast or as an afternoon snack, when it’s typically paired with tea (Kashmiri chai) or coffee. It’s often served with spicy curries, gravy, raita, or chutneys.
