I have not eaten butter chicken nor naan before so that is killing two birds with one stone!
.
The naans here are only baked upon order. The chef will flip the ball of dough rapidly between his hands to stretch it into shape before slapping it against the inner wall of the tandoor. All that is left to do was to wait for the naan to be baked to perfection.
.
It was ready in just a minute or two - a lot quicker than I expected! The naan is so huge the sides hang over the edge of the styrofoam plate! To give you some context, it is larger than both my palms placed side by side with the fingers outstretched.
.
The butter chicken was served in a small styrofoam bowl (ugh!).
.
Boneless and skinless chicken chunks were smothered under a rich and creamy sauce.
.
Popping a piece of the tender chicken in my mouth, it felt like it has been seared or roasted in the tandoor beforehand.
.
Tear a bit of the naan and dip it in the sauce. At first bite, the sauce tastes predominantly sweet but watch out for the underlying spiciness that only start to kick in after a while.
.
The pillowy soft naan is best eaten while hot though they cool down pretty fast. I love the chewy mouthfeel which is good enough to eat on its own without any sauce.
