They have a lot of overlap but are better for different things. Bread is better for mopping up the last of a sauce, especially quietly. Rice is really good for varying ratios in your bites.

I love making naan, but I never have the time, or forethought to make it early enough to eat with our food. So I use flour tortillas. Not the same, but a decent substitute. And being in New Mexico, our tortilla sections at the grocery store are larger than the normal (American) bread sections.

I wish I could make my own naan. It’s so much better with those. But somehow I failed all my attempts at baking those :-/

Hey there, thanks!

I don't really measure things precisely while I'm cooking... By spoons I mean soup-spoons (tablespoons). I'm a metric guy :)

For the spice mix, it's total. In my variant, I added one tablespoon of garam masala, one of cumin, half of ground coriander, half of turmeric, about a teaspoon of paprika, indian chilli, fenugreek. I mixed this separately in a bowl, and ended up using all of it. It might be too much for some, though, so you can only add half of it, adjust later if needed.

Always happy to answer any cooking questions!
