Description

Kabul Naan is a traditional Afghan bread that is larger, thicker, and more robust than Indian-style naan. It is a staple in Afghan cuisine and holds cultural significance in everyday meals. Here’s a detailed description:

• Appearance: Kabul naan is long and oval or rectangular in shape, often measuring around 2-3 feet in length. It has a golden-brown crust with distinct ridges or patterns created by hand or with a wooden stamp called a naan tokhm, which imprints designs on the dough.
• Flavor: The flavor is mild and slightly nutty, with a subtle sweetness. Depending on the recipe, it may also have a hint of tanginess. Sometimes sesame or nigella seeds are sprinkled on top for added flavor.
• Texture: It is thicker and denser than Indian naan, with a chewy interior and a crisp, golden crust.
