Today I made naan. I kneaded minced garlic into the dough, and instead of brushing it with ghee, which I did not have, I brushed it with niter kibbeh, of which I have a ridiculous amount. Warm naan with garlic and overtones of cardamom, nutmeg, cinnamon and fenugreek is…awesome.

Now I just need a massive 800-degree tandoor in the kitchen for that proper heat-blistered effect. It’s almost Chanukah, y’all.

   Are you trying to break me? Well, you are almost there…

   Does it taste like real naan?
