About Cheese Stuffed Naan
Cheese stuffed naan is a modern, much-loved take on the traditional filled naan. The base is our soft maida — refined flour — naan dough, leavened so it bakes light and puffed, wrapped around a filling of grated melting cheese mixed with chopped fresh coriander, then sealed. It is slapped by hand onto the inside wall of our real charcoal tandoor at around 480°C and bakes in roughly ninety seconds, gripping the clay so the outside takes on brown contact spots while the heat melts the cheese to a soft centre by the time the bread comes off. A pinch of coriander runs through the filling for a fresh note against the richness. It is best eaten straight away, while the cheese is still soft and stretchy. One cheese stuffed naan comes per portion. Butter or, on request, ghee can be brushed on as it leaves the oven, and the bread is halal-friendly with no pork. The mild, creamy filling makes a good foil for our richer or spicier gravies, balancing the heat with something soft and savoury.
