If you’re making any type of curry, naan bread is the obvious side to choose. The bread is perfect for dipping into the sauce and soaking up all of the flavors.

Of course, naan bread works well for many other situations too. The flatness of the bread means that it can easily be used as wraps or as the base for a pizza. You could eat naan bread as a snack too, especially with the right sauce to dip it in.

Another great thing about naan bread is that keto versions aren’t too difficult to make. There are plenty of keto naan bread recipes out there and they are notably different from one another.

Differences can include areas like the low carb flour used, the specific flavors and what other ingredients are added in the mix.

All this variation should make it easy to find some recipes that you personally enjoy. Many will also include suggestions about ways that you can use the naan bread or ingredients that you can use as toppings.
