Butter Naan in Patong is an easy companion for Indian curries and lentils. Enjoy warm bread with a buttery finish at Royal Kitchen near Patong Beach.
What is Butter Naan?
Naan is a leavened flatbread associated with high-heat cooking, traditionally in a tandoor. Butter naan is finished with butter, which gives the bread its characteristic richness. Dough recipes and cooking methods vary between kitchens.
Unlike a flaky layered paratha, naan is valued for its soft, airy texture. It is a useful choice when the main dish has plenty of sauce. Royal Kitchen lists Butter Naan separately from Garlic Naan, so choose according to the flavour you want alongside your curry.
What does it taste like?
Soft bread with browned blisters, a tender centre and a buttery finish.
The menu name gives a useful introduction, but the kitchen can explain the current seasoning and preparation. Tell the team if you prefer less chilli or have ingredients you need to avoid.
Why naan works with curry
The soft centre makes naan useful for picking up sauce, while its browned surface adds a toasted flavour. Tear off a small piece as you eat so the rest stays together and warm. If your table is sharing several curries, begin with a sensible amount of bread and ask the staff for guidance on additional portions.
Butter naan, roti or paratha?
These breads bring different textures to a meal. Naan is typically soft and leavened. Roti is usually a simpler unleavened flatbread, while paratha is associated with layers or fillings. Butter Naan is a useful choice when you want a tender bread with a rich finish; a different bread may suit you better when you want less richness.
