Review: Deep Foods Garlic Naan and Tandoori Naan

[Guest guest]

Here are my ratings for two frozen naan products, both by Deep Foods.

 

Good naans are not easy to make at home. Naans are what attract some

people to Indian restaurants.

 

There are severals naan and naan type frozen products that can be

found at Indian groceries in USA.

 

I would have to say that Deep's Garlic Naan and Tandoori Naan are

winners. When properly heated, they are much better than restaurant

naans reheated (which tend to become a little stretchy). They have

the lightness people are looking for in a naan. They are

significantly better than other similar products.

 

The directions on the wrapper tell you to " bake " them briefly up in

a pre-heated oven. Using a toaster-oven would be quick, if you only

want to make just a couple of them. I have found that " toasting " in

a hot toaster oven also works.

 

There is a trick to heating naans and other thick uneven breads. You

can sprinkle and spread a frew drops of water on the surface to make

sure the surfce does not burn when the inside is geting warm. Also

you can smear a little water on the thin spots, dark spots and edges

to make sure they don't burn. Make sure to take them out before they

start drying out.

 

I was surprized to see that their Garlic naan has a lightly

different and more complex formulation that the plain Tandoori naan.

The results are slighlty different.
