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.

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

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.
