STEP BY STEP
Taftan is quite similar to the Naan made in India. The difference being - Taftan is made with egg, yeast, salt, sugar, curd and milk added to all-purpose flour. Taftan is traditionally cooked in tandoor or in a preheated oven and served with any gravy but in Lahore it is can be had for breakfast with some delicious hot Kashmiri Chai.
Taftan is yummy and filled with nutrition.
