I was perusing the pages of Anjali Pathak’s new cookbook, “Secrets From My Indian Family Kitchen”, when I came across a recipe for naazas.

Essentially, a naaza is Pathak’s version of a naan pizza; they’re quick, easy and delicious. 

So I whipped one up for lunch using Patak’s Sweet Mango Chutney and feta atop fresh garlic naan. 

Helloooo…. delicious. 

And if you’re wondering why Pathak’s name is so similar to the food brand, it’s because she is the granddaughter of the founder of Patak’s Indian Foods. So she knows what she’s talking about. 

I broiled these babies on high for about 6-8 minutes, watching them carefully. Then – in true Tara fashion – I heaped a big pile of cilantro atop the melted cheese.

Because cilantro is the best stuff on earth. I cannot get enough.

In her book, Pathak suggests trying various toppings: different chutneys, Indian pesto, various cheeses, roasted peppers and artichokes. I can imagine leftover butter chicken sauce smothered all over the naan, topped with mozzarella. 

As I ate the naaza for lunch, I kept thinking about how much I would enjoy this with sliced pear or apple. It’s really the perfect springtime meal.
