Recipe FAQs
- → Can I make the naan chips ahead of time?
Yes, bake the chips up to a day in advance and store in an airtight container. Refresh them in a 350°F oven for 3-5 minutes to restore crispness before serving.
- → What can I substitute for chili crisp?
Use sriracha mixed with crispy fried garlic, sambal oelek, or make your own by frying garlic and red pepper flakes in oil until fragrant.
- → How long does the cucumber dip keep?
The dip stays fresh for 2-3 days refrigerated in an airtight container. The cucumbers may release some liquid, so stir before serving.
- → Can I use regular cucumber instead of English?
Yes, but peel and seed regular cucumbers thoroughly since their skin is tougher and seeds create excess moisture in the dip.
- → What other bread works for the chips?
Pita bread, flatbread, or even tortillas make excellent substitutes. Adjust baking time as thinner breads crisp faster.
- → Is this appetizer spicy?
The heat level is moderate and adjustable. Start with less chili crisp and red pepper flakes, then add more to taste after mixing the dip.
