About Tawa Chicken Naan Bomb (8 pcs)
Tawa cooking is Mumbai street food: a huge flat iron griddle, high heat, and masala scraped and folded until everything picks up a toasted edge. For this Naan Bomb we cook chicken tawa-style with onion, tomato and a street-style masala heavy on cumin and ajwain, reduce it until sticky, and seal it inside small rounds of butter naan dough before they hit the charcoal tandoor.
Of the three chicken bombs this is the most savoury-toasty rather than creamy or fiery — the flavour of the griddle itself is the point. The ajwain in particular gives it a sharp, almost thyme-like edge that stands out against the buttery bread.
Eight pieces per order, served with a tawa-masala dipping gravy and mint chutney. If you know pav bhaji or tawa pulao from Mumbai's streets, this is that flavour family folded into bread you can dunk.
Eat in at our 30-40 seat dining room in Huai Khwang (try the Dastarkhan floor seating), or have it delivered anywhere in Bangkok.
The other five Naan Bombs — and which curry each one comes with — are on the Naan Bombs list, and why we kept a charcoal tandoor instead of gas explains where the blistering on the crust comes from.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does 'tawa' mean?
A tawa is the large flat iron griddle used by Indian street vendors. Cooking on it at high heat gives food a distinctive toasted, slightly smoky edge — different from tandoor smoke or a simmered curry. Our filling is cooked on the tawa before being sealed in naan.
Where does this sit on the spice scale?
Between the other two chicken bombs: warmer than butter chicken, gentler than kadai. The character comes from cumin and ajwain rather than chilli quantity, so it reads as savoury and aromatic more than hot.
What is ajwain?
Carom seed — a small Indian spice with a sharp, thyme-like flavour, classic in street-griddle cooking and in breads. It is what gives this filling its distinctive edge.
Is the filling saucy or dry?
Deliberately on the dry, sticky side — tawa dishes are reduced hard on the griddle so the masala clings to the chicken. That is also what lets us seal it inside the dough without the bomb going soggy. The dipping gravy on the side adds the moisture.
Can I mix Naan Bomb varieties in one order?
Each plate of eight is a single variety, so order two or three plates and each one arrives as its own filling. For a mixed table of spice tolerances, pair this with the mild Paneer Butter Masala version.
