I love stuffed naan. Any kind of stuffed naan will do: potato, nuts & raisins, onions, paneer cheese, olive, mushroom, whatever. My favorite is the peshwari naan they serve over at Namaskar in Davis. But until I get a 900 degree clay oven, I probably won’t be baking it. So the other day I was happy to find out that Pillsbury actually makes frozen paneer-stuffed naan. And what’s more, the Indian food store down the block sells it!
Pros:
cooks up nicely from frozen in 5 minutes
it’s actually crispy and tastes good, nice and spicy.
I got to see the Dough Boy cozy up to a plate of naan on the package. You can sort of tell by the look in his eye that naan is his true love, that the cookies are really too sweet for his taste and he’s tired of flavorless crescent rolls.
Cons:
still not as good as Namaskar naan, though I wasn’t expecting it to be.
I don’t think they make a frozen peshwari naan. Aside from my paneer naan, I think there was one with carmelized onions or something. But I’m sure someone out there sells frozen peshwari naan, and I intend to find it…
