Leek Naan

When i chosed Naan as theme for this week's blogging marathon,i seriously want make some flavourful simple spring onion naan. But last weekend when we went to our nearby farmer's market, i couldnt spot out green spring onions, immediately i dropped that idea and went towards the leek. Leek is a vegetable that belongs to onion and garlic family.Since leek have a mild onion like taste, i thought of using it in this Naan.The edible part of the leek are the white base of the leaves. Usually Leek is used for making vegetable stock as they add flavour to them. Leek can be boiled,cooked,or can be eaten raw in salad. However i cant tolerate leek as raw, usually i finish them by making a warm bowl of leek potato soup or else i'll make quiche with it.

This leek naan came out extremely well with a wonderful flavor, the taste was almost like onion naan. Just with some spicy masala or kurma am sure you can definitely have a satisfying meal with these flavorsome Naans. Give a try to this leek naan, am sure you guys will definitely love it.In case if you dont get leeks, you can replace them very well with spring onions or garlic chives.
