Naan Bread

[missprim]

What can you eat with Garlic and Coriander Naan bread apart from curry?

[andrew1707]

Kebab.

Most of the Kebabs shops here in Nottingham are run by asians and many do Kebabs on freshly cooked nan-bread. Its lovely ( after 8 pints, that is!!)

we have it with salad as a side dish, or use it to mop up a casserole - it doesn't have to be a curry.

[missprim]

Thanks for your suggestions.

tuna fish steak, anything barbecued, melt mozzarella onto it....loads of things

I know we have very tastes in the food department Miss Prim :-)

I do think the kebab idea is a good one, some cubed pork, lamb or chicken marinated in lemon juice and zest, some herbs thyme, oregano, parsley, rosemary, whatever you have in the cupboard or garden, a little garlic if you fancy, seasoning and a glug of olive oil. Leave for 30 mins min or as long as you like.

Cook in a hot frying pan with no additional oil and serve with the warmed naan, a crisp salad and if you are feeling brave and daring a yogurt dressing. The dressing is just plain yogurt with finely chopped mint, coriander or parsley a bit of crushed garlic (if you want) and some grated cucumber (if you fancy).

i love dahl and naan bread, but that might be a little too much like curry for you.

scatter some cheese over and warm it and have it like garlic bread or use it to wrap kebabs as andrew says

[friedgreentomato]

sliced tomato and cheese and grill

[missprim]

If ever I can afford someone to come and cook for me then I would have to choose Eccles but you know what I'm going to say about me being a plain eater and not liking spicy foods :-( but you make it sound really nice.
Also being on a diet I can't have cheese on it as the bread itself is quite high in calories and I was thinking of just putting it in the oven to warm then putting baked beans on it.
Boring I know, but I can't think of anything else I like apart from having it with a bowl of chicken soup.

[EcclesCake]

Miss Prim, that is a very kind comment, I would love to cook for you - I love exposing people to new and previously thought 'scary' foods!

I did try to tone down my suggestions to focus on the flavour from herbs and citrus.

Out of interest is it chilli hot you don't like or the strong flavours from spices such as cumin or coriander???

You often pop up with food related questions, I suspect your sub conscience would like to branch out......a little ;-)

[missprim]

I've never been 'adventurous' with food Eccles, always very plain, it's just the way I was brought up.
Naan bread isn't something I would buy as I only associate it with curry, but my daughter came round with the left over naan and asked if I could use it.
Again because of the time I was brought up, just after the war, I couldn't let her throw it away so said I would eat it.
Problem is of course I didn't know what I would have in my cupboards that I could have with it apart from a tin of soup and a tin of beans.
Thanks for your suggestions though.

Chilli con carne.....................

[vodkancoke]

In addition to what Eccles said, you could also opent hem up, drizzle with olive oil, salt, pepper and fennel seeds, grill them, slice them and serve them with dips.

[vodkancoke]

*open them up

Apart from curry ? More curry !

Bread is bread, put what you like with it. Try steak & onions maybe. I think I might avoid strawberry jam with garlic though.

[missprim]

Lol OG. Never had Chilli con carne in my life craft, isn't it hot and/or spicy?

[vodkancoke]

It doesn't have to be missprim. You control how much chilli you add. If it is too hot, add some soured cream or natural yoghurt when serving and that will cool it down.

[missprim]

I love the fact that today the youngsters are brought up to try different types of food and they are able to eat the kind of foods that I find too hot because I was never acclimatised? to them so even the spices that are used in foods like sausages burn my mouth out.
Went for a curry with my family once and ordered Chicken Korma. I asked for it to be made as mild as possible but even then I was drinking water after every mouthful.

[valerieb1254]

I spread mine with garlic butter then just put any toppings on and a final topping of cheese then cook it as a pizza,we have them quite often.

[vodkancoke]

missprim, not everyone can take spice. I always had Kormas which my Dad calls fruit salads because they are so mild. I have built up to different strength curries over the past 15 years and I now love chillies and can't get enough of them. I think it happens over time.

[mccfluff]

, i might of made a ham sarnie out of left over naan before :-)
