Mix Vegetable Kurma and Whole Wheat Tandoori Naan


Now that everyone is staying put indoors, there is no more going to the favorite restaurants and eating out. Kids love Naan and Punjabi style curries (They call is "Órange curry"😆, due to the distinct orangish hue of the tomato based sauces in Punjabi curries) and miss their favorite Indian restaurant. So yesterday, made this elaborate Punjabi affair for dinner. They were overjoyed to have their favorite meal 😋 and we enjoyed cooking together as a family :)

** The Naan's are made with whole wheat dough (No Yeast, No Baking Soda/ Powder) and baked in oven.
