Notes

You can use frozen naan straight from the freezer without the need to defrost it.

Use any salad leaves as per your liking - different varieties of lettuce, arugula, baby spinach, parsley, napa cabbage, etc., work very well.

We love mozzarella in our naanwich; however, other cheese varieties like cheddar can also be used. You can also skip it altogether.
