Notes

Spice level: Tandoori blends vary, so adjust to taste. Start with slightly less if you prefer a milder curry or add a little more if you prefer spicier curries. Cream swap: Light crème fraîche or 0% Greek yoghurt can be used instead. If using yoghurt, stir in off the heat to prevent splitting. Sauce texture: Blending gives that smooth takeaway-style finish, but you can leave it slightly chunky if preferred. Naan dough: It should feel soft and slightly tacky. Lightly flour your hands when rolling, and avoid over-kneading. Make sure to use thick Greek yoghurt and not Greek Style, it is too wet and won’t work. These are lightly cheesy breads rather than a stuffed, gooey cheese naan. The mozzarella melts into the dough as it cooks, so don’t expect a dramatic cheese pull it’s there for flavour and softness rather than stretch. You can omit it, if you prefer a plain naan. Dairy-free: Use a dairy-free cream alternative and skip the mozzarella in the naan (or swap to dairy-free cheese).
