Kashmiri Naan
Kashmiri Naan is our sweet, nutty take on the classic Indian flatbread. It's naan baked with cashews and dry fruits, so every bite is soft and buttery, with a gentle sweetness and satisfying crunch. At Curry Gate, it's the go-to bread for guests who want something a little special on the table.
This style of naan is inspired by the cuisine of Kashmir, the northern region of India known for rich, fragrant dishes and its love of nuts and dried fruits. The dough is stuffed or topped with chopped cashews and dry fruits, then baked in a hot tandoor oven until golden and puffed. It's finished with a brush of butter while warm. The result is a naan with a crisp, lightly charred outside, a soft, fluffy inside, and a sweet, rich filling.
Kashmiri Naan's sweetness pairs especially well with bold, spicy curries, since it balances the heat with every bite. Try it with Chicken Tikka Masala, Butter Chicken, Lamb Rogan Josh or a spicy Chicken Vindaloo. It's also a good match for creamy vegetarian dishes like Paneer Tikka Masala, Palak Paneer or Chana Masala. Many guests order it alongside plain or garlic naan so the table gets both savory and sweet.
Kashmiri Naan is vegetarian and a fun choice for anyone who wants to try something beyond classic naan.
