Nan is delicious, especially suitable for young people. He tastes particularly hard, tastes particularly energetic and smells like wheat.

Naan, the skin is golden yellow, with flour as the main raw material, mostly fermented noodles, but a little salt instead of alkali. Most naan are round, and the largest naan is called "Aimanke" naan, which is thin in the middle, slightly thicker at the edge, and has many patterns in the center, with a diameter of 40-50 cm. This kind of glutinous rice is 1-2 kg flour, and is called the king of glutinous rice. The smallest naan is as big as the mouth of a normal teacup, called "Tokas" naan, and its thickness is about 1 cm.
