Indian breads break the charts

A global comfort food, naan and kulcha top world rankings
IMAGINE A HIGHWAY dhaba. A lively atmosphere with casual seating, often cots even, sound of bustling conversations, peppy music and heady food aromas, especially dal makhani simmering in huge cauldrons, and a tandoor spitting out tempting offerings.
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.
TasteAtlas, a renowned online food guide known for showcasing global cuisines and dishes, in its 2025 ranking of the world's 50 best breads, has listed butter garlic naan on the top spot with a 4.7 rating by the guide.
