Why you’ll love this easy naanwich recipe

  • Never throw any leftover Indian food away again and cut down on waste and expense.
  • Yesterday’s dinner becomes today’s lunch.
  • You can use virtually any Indian food to make a naanwich.
  • Adults and kids alike love them!
  • This naanwich recipe is 100% vegetarian.

We’ve all been there, we’ve either made too much or ordered too much Indian food and we don’t know what to do with it the next day – welcome to the naanwich, your new best friend.

What ingredients do I need?

You’ll need the ingredients shown in the photograph below.

Ingredients needed lettuce, chili potatoes, cucumber, naan bread, cilantro, raita, and tomatoes.

What exactly is a naanwich?

Naanwiches are incredibly popular as a takeaway food in Indian takeaways in the UK.

A naanwich is Indian food that is served in naan bread and folded over, like a giant sandwich.

But instead of using regular bread, naan is used, hence the name naanwich.

Want to make your own Indian chili potatoes?

And why wouldn’t you want to – they taste amazing!

Here’s our Indian chili potato recipe.

A bowl of hilli potatoes ready to eat with red chili flakes and corinader.

It’s packed full of flavor, perfectly balanced with Indian spices, and with just enough heat from the chilies.

If you haven’t tried them yet, then you should.

They taste amazing in naan bread or Peshwari naan but are also great as a snack when dipped into your favorite raita.

What do I serve a naanwich with?

There’s every chance that you won’t need anything else to go with your naanwich.

Look at the size of this bad boy – it’s enormous!

But maybe you’re hungry or you could be sharing.

So in that case, you may want to try an Indian onion salad, a Bhindi raita, Tarka dal, saag aloo, or aloo gobi.

How do I store a chili potato naanwich?

Once you make your Indian potato naanwich, you need to eat it immediately.

It doesn’t store well because the potato filling along with the raita, makes the naan bread soggy.

  • Storage
    Eat immediately as the naan bread will become soggy if stored.
  • Use what you have
