This is an incredible sandwich - and so filling! The other night I made it for dinner using store bought Naan and it's become my favorite way to make it! Not only because it's faster and easier than making my own pizza dough but because the flavor is incredible and we love it more than any other breads we've tried.
One sandwich made from 2 slices of Naan will easily serve 2 adults when sliced in half.
