How to Make Garlic Cheese Naan (Traditional & Healthy Version)
Garlic Cheese Naan is a beloved staple in Malaysian North Indian restaurants, blending the aromatic flavors of bawang putih (garlic) and creamy cheese into a fluffy, soft flatbread. This naan has become an iconic part of Malaysia’s multicultural cuisine, often served alongside dishes like dhal, tandoori ayam, or rich kari kambing. The addition of locally sourced ingredients such as daun bawang (spring onion) adds a Malaysian twist, making it a popular choice during lunch gatherings and festive occasions. What sets Malaysian Garlic Cheese Naan apart is the subtle infusion of fresh herbs and the use of low-fat cheese for a healthier balance. The naan is traditionally cooked in a tandoor but can be easily prepared on a pan or oven at home. Its golden crust, mild garlicky aroma, and gooey cheese center make it irresistible, while its simplicity makes it accessible for both novice and experienced cooks. Enjoyed hot off the grill, it’s perfect for those seeking an authentic yet health-conscious Malaysian flatbread experience.
