Yeast in Naan?
This article says that Naan does not contain yeast but the Naan article itself says it usually does contain yeast. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 60.242.255.107 (talk) 11:54, 15 September 2007 (UTC)


 * Just checked with someone with experience cooking in India. The recipe for Naan does include yeast—or some other leavening agent.

Name of bread from Kerala
Last night in Fort, Mumbai we ate a meal at a small restaurant with only local people. We had paneer masala and bogi chili and they came with a type of doughy bread that was round but stringy rather than solid. I asked the name but could not remember it other than that it contained the word "ali" plus a few other syllables and I was told that this bread originates from Kerala. Any idea what this bread is? I can upload a photo later if necessary. &mdash; Hippietrail (talk) 09:48, 11 March 2009 (UTC)

Does the south indian dish dosa qualify as bread?
Going by the definition of bread, (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bread, 'Bread is a staple food prepared by baking a dough of flour and water.') Dosa does not qualify as bread. It is prepared from a batter, not dough, of rice and lentils. Moreover, dosa is never baked, but roasted on an iron girdle with oil. It would qualify as a Crêpe http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crepe —Preceding unsigned comment added by Vinoo202 (talk • contribs) 17:28, 13 May 2009 (UTC)

Taftan in UP?
The list of Indian breads says it is found/eaten in Uttar Pradesh. I am yet to meet an Indian who has heard of Taftan. Would love to see documentation. &mdash; iFaqeer (talk to or email me) 08:17, 15 December 2022 (UTC)
