Why naan calorie numbers differ
Naan is a leavened flatbread of refined flour, curd and milk, with a little sugar and butter in the dough, baked in a tandoor and brushed with ghee or butter. Restaurant naans are bigger and softer than home naans, and the butter brushed on afterwards ranges from a light touch to a heavy coat. Garlic or butter naan adds still more.
One extra teaspoon of ghee or oil (5 g) adds 45 kcal, 17% of the calories in 1 naan.
The numbers here are for a standard home recipe at 90 g per naan. Weigh your portion or compare it with that weight.
