What is Garlic Naan?

Garlic Naan is a leavened flatbread made with flour, yogurt, and a touch of yeast or baking powder, brushed with garlic butter and often sprinkled with fresh cilantro. Traditionally cooked in a tandoor (clay oven), it can also be made on a stovetop or in the oven for a halal-friendly, homemade version.
