Keema naan

Keema naan is a traditional flatbread and a version of naan. The soft and elastic dough is made with a combination of flour, yeast, salt, sugar, and yogurt. Once rolled, it’s stuffed with keema, a curry-like stew containing lamb, mutton, or chicken meat, potatoes, green peas, ginger, chili, onions, garlic, and garam masala spices. Once stuffed and shaped, keema naan is baked in a hot tandoor, on a griddle, or on a tava pan until fully cooked and golden. If desired, the flatbread can be sprinkled with black sesame seeds for a nice visual appearance. Keema naan is usually brushed with warm butter or ghee before serving. It’s recommended to serve keema naan with a smashed onion, cucumber raita, and fresh yogurt on the side. This type of naan is usually prepared to make use of leftover keema stew.
