What exactly is a naanwich?

A naanwich is the latest food craze in the UK and Europe.

Pretty much any leftover Indian dishes from a takeaway or from home Indian cooking can be used to make a naanwich.

You place your Indian food, aloo gobi in this instance, on one half of naan bread, add lettuce, raita (which is a yogurt based Indian dip), possibly lemon juice, and tomatoes, depending on the Indian dish you have.

Then you fold over the naan bread, and you’ve made an Indian version of a sandwich.

So you create a ‘naan’wich – simple eh?

This means that there are no leftovers, you can eat a naanwich for lunch or dinner the next day.

Some people even eat them for breakfast!

You can choose to heat up your food or eat it cold.

What is aloo gobi?

Aloo gobi Is an Indian dish that is made with cauliflower florets and potatoes.

The fork tender potatoes and cauliflower are cooked with tomatoes and onions.

Then spices are added, cumin seeds, red chili powder, turmeric, ground coriander powder, garam masala, ginger garlic paste, fresh green chilies, and fresh coriander leaves.

It’s cooked perfectly and served usually as a side dish, along with a curry such as a bhuna, jalfrezi, or vindaloo.

With other side dishes such as dum aloo, tarka dal, and naan bread.

What do you serve with aloo gobi naanwich with?

The chances are that you are having your naanwich as a meal in itself.

But maybe you’re sharing it, or you’re incredibly hungry!

We’d recommend serving it with an Indian onion salad, cauliflower dal, or saag aloo.

What naan bread is best to use?

You can choose your favorite naan bread, choose a plain naan bread, Peshwari naan, or a garlic naan

How do I store it?

A complete naanwich doesn’t store well, once you add in the aloo gobi and then the raita and vegetables, if you were to store it in the fridge, it would become soggy.

The best way to enjoy it is to eat it immediately.
