Naan accompaniments

I plan to be baking breads at an upcoming Eggfest. I'll do Naan, Pita and Challah. With the Pita I'll offer hummus, and with the Challah I'll offer honey butter. But I don't know what to serve with the Naan. I do plan to top them with black onion seeds. Is that enough?
Suggestions?

    Try a feta cheese mix with chopped red onion and some yogurt to make a thick sauce. Chopped olives or cucumbers are an option.

    Patty if you have an abundance of tomatoes like we do this is a great topping for any bread. we use the mini red and yellow and orange grape tomatoes, just slice them in half and add a ton of chopped cilantro and feta crumbles and Italian dressing just to coat.let sit for a couple hours to blend flavors. it goes a long ways and is very cheep this time of year. it makes a great side salad also.

    Oh Patty'O, please tell me you're talking about Oswego Eggfest. Pretty please?

    The best accompaniment for naan is a curry...that's right, naan is the main course, the curry is the side dish. ;)

    How do you do your naan? Grilled, or baking stone?

    Patty'O,

    You could make a vegetarian curry, tandoori or korma. Chop the vegetables medium dice and serve cold.

    Great. I'll look some of these up. Chop up small enough for a chunky spread on the naan. Making a day ahead should be wonderful. Thanks.

    DC Metro on Oct. 9. I'll bake the naan directly on the baking stone over the plate setter, feet down. Challah will go in a clay loaf pan on the baking stone. Pita will be on the stone too. I'm considering beer bread in a clay tubular pan and a whole wheat in a loaf pan and maybe finish with something in a Dutch oven. That may be pretty aggressive for the time constraints. I'll have to do some experimenting. Bread tasting for a month. So sad. Someone's gotta do it.

    the lebanese bakery near me drizzles honey and toasted sesame seed on the pita and on another version toasts zatar seasoning oil and salt on the pita breads, good stuff

    That naan calls out for a raita...a yogurt relish. At its simplest, yogurt plus finely diced cucumber, with a squeeze of lemon or lime. Raitas get more complex and subtle from there...I like grated onion, cucumber, and a hit of garlic, too. The brand Neera's sells a "yogurt seasoning" dry blend to shake directly into yogurt.

    Ever thought of doing stuffed naans? Finely ground spiced lamb (aka keema naan), or paneer cheese, or fenugreek leaves. Damn, I'm making myself hungry. A soft spiced curry mixture is another usual filling for naan.

    Hungry Celeste,

    Good call! I ASSumed Patty would have tzadziki with the pita.

    Similar in the sense of lamb + dough, but not the same. A finely ground meat filling (lamb, or beef in Pakistani cooking) is spread over partially flattened dough, then it is folded up and re-rolled to usual naan thickness. The thin, tender, flaky dough is studded with meat morsels (or potato or paneer cheese)....and it's usually scorched/crusty in spots, and brushed with a bit of ghee before serving.
