Naan Poulet (Naan Keema Chicken)
Naan is a popular Indian bread, traditionally made in a ‘tandoor’- an Indian clay oven, but we now improvise and use other means, including a home oven. Stuffed with chicken mince, (or any other minced filling of your choice), this mouth-watering dish makes a great starter or main meal.
