Dishoom-style bacon and egg naan recipe

The freshness, pliability and quality of the bread makes or breaks an egg-filled naan - Sam A Harris

The freshness, pliability and quality of the bread makes or breaks an egg-filled naan. But when it’s good, oh boy, is it good. If you (as I) are lucky enough to be able to source fresh naan locally, then do that. If not, you can find plenty of recipes for making your own online, including Dishoom’s (the British Bombay-inspired restaurant group, whose bacon naan roll prompted my love of this particular approach).
