Cooking Tips

• You can use a combination of all-purpose flour and whole wheat flour for a healthier version of Pudina Naan.
• If you don't have fresh mint leaves, you can use dried mint leaves or mint powder as a substitute.
• To achieve a smoky flavor similar to tandoor-cooked naan, you can cook the naan directly on a gas flame for a few seconds after it is cooked on the tawa.

Storage and Serving

• Pudina Naan is best served fresh and hot.
• If you have leftovers, you can store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
• To reheat, you can either microwave the naan for a few seconds or heat it on a tawa or griddle until warm.
• Serve Pudina Naan as a side dish with your favorite Indian curries or use it as a base for wraps and sandwiches.
