Naan Bread???

  • Hi--
    I am counting calories and only eating complex carbs and limiting those to an extent. I used to love Naan bread, but it is naughty. I have a curry chicken recipe and I want to try and find a healthy Naan. Does it exist? I like the whole wheat Mediterranean flat bread that Trader Joe's has.

    Any recommendations?

    Thanks
  • I enjoy the Flatout breads, which you can check out at flatoutbread dot com. There's lots of different varieties (wraps for sandwiches, crisps, and so forth) and I bet you could find a suitable stand-in for naan (which, you're right -- is so delicious!).
  • ahh Na'an how I miss thee! HAHA.
    But seriously, if you find a suitable substitute to go with Curry let us know!
  • Oooooh...naan bread! I have yet to find a replacement for that

    Of course, there are a lot of breads out there, but I've found that none of them even come close to the taste of delicious, hot, naan bread! (Can you tell I'm craving?!)
  • you and me both Jittery. It is getting close to TOM so...yeah. YAY for tomato juice, hard boiled egg, string cheese breakfast. MUCH better than Na'an and Curry ANYDAY.
    HAHA
  • It's not as yummy, but I use whole wheat pita as a replacement for naan. It's whole grain, a piece (or half peice) of the whole wheat is only 90 calories, and it goes well with curry. I warm it up and eat it with dal.
  • Thanks for the ideas, guys. I've been using the trader joe flatbread and while it is good, it is not Naan. I guess there is no low-cal/low-fat/low carb Naan. If somebody devised one, I'm sure it would sell
