Hot naan bread





Naan bread is staple of the diet here in Kabul. Every lunch time, women and children have baskets of bread balanced on their head. It's served with every meal. And it's delicious... particularly when it's hot and straight from the oven. There are little 'bread shops' dotted everywhere, with a smokey fire in the back and men pounding out the dough. Up front, is the 'main guy' - usually with a pointed stick (see the photos). He jabs the bread from the back and then throws it to the front by the counter where customers are queuing up to buy the bread. If you don't want to buy the bread itself, you can just buy the dough... and make fresh pizzas at home!! yum! :-)
