Ever since living off-campus this year, my criteria for what to cook have been pretty basic: whatever is easiest and available.  One of the most valuable lessons I’ve learned this year is that the most important thing is to always keep a few key ingredients on hand. One of the ingredients that I have absolutely fallen in love with this year is Tandoori Naan, which is basically Indian flat bread.  I usually get it at Trader Joe’s and you can get it in white, wheat, or garlic there.   Once you fry it up, believe me, it is beyond delicious and makes for a super simple appetizer to serve any guests you might have over.

So here’s what you do:
- Slice the flat bread into about one inch strips.
- Put about a tablespoon of olive oil into a medium sized frying pan, along with a generous sprinkle of salt and turn it onto medium heat.
- Wait for the pan to get hot, and then drop the slices into the pan.
- Flip each slice over about 2-3 minutes.
Voila!  Serve the strips with your favorite type of hummus or even Nutella, if you’re feeling decadent.   I promise it’s just as delicious as it is simple!
