Indian flatbread, or naan, traditionally baked in a clay oven known as a tandoor, is a well-known accompaniment for curries and barbecued lamb, fish and chicken dishes.
Adding ginger and spring onion makes the naan taste a bit like a Chinese spring onion pancake, but the former is baked while the latter is fried in a pan.
