Most people will agree that a perfect dhaba meal of paneer tikka, dal makhani and butter chicken is incomplete without a naan with dollops of ghee and butter.
However, the leavened, oven-baked or tawa-fried flatbread, often cooked in a tandoor, and a popular accompaniment to Indian dishes, has gone beyond highway dhabas to be the world's number one flatbread in popularity.
