Naan But the Brave

Had a very interesting Saturday last week at the Family Day at my workplace. This is an annual affair meant to encourage employees to bring their family members & have a good time enjoying things like games & food & such. As usual, there were many food stalls run by the staff themselves, with an interesting array of cuisine from simple pancakes to good food from Myanmar. However, as I was there rather late in the event, most of the food was gone.

I had the pleasure, however, of tasting some very nice dishes from the Khansama Tandoori Restaurant. They were doing a roaring business, largely due to the fact that they were serving freshly made naan on the spot ! I was totally fascinated by the way that this lovely bread is made & so had to take some pictures to record this.
The chef took the pre-prepared dough, kneaded it to the right shape & consistency, then uses a clothed covered coconut husk to slap the dough onto the wall of the cylindrical tandoor or oven. The naan then cooks in this interesting oven ( which is essentially a stone or concrete cylinder with burning charcoal at the bottom and when it is done, the cooked naan is lifted out using a long hook. The freshly baked naan was heavenly - both the plain one as well as the garlic one. I has these with some very nice butter chicken, which was the only meat dish they had left. Their tandoori chicken & other stuff had already sold out by the time I got there.

This restaurant also delivers, as I was pleased to discover. Am definitely going to either go to the restaurant ( I got a $10 food voucher from them ! ) or order from their home delivery menu, which is very extensive.
Naan, anyone ?
