I'm making the crockpot butter chicken for my band leader tomorrow night. But I'm unsure what I'm going to do about the naan.
You got all kinds of learnin' and you made me look the fool without tryin', and yet here I am with a gun to your head. That's 'cause I got people with me. People who trust each other, who do for each other, and ain't always lookin' for the advantage.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
My medium-fancy supermarket has a decent approximation of naan in the deli area. "Decent" after you heat it in the oven. I think it's Culinary Circle brand, if anyone else has the same chain.

I've gotten naan from...somewhere that was pretty good. TJ's? Meant to be heated in the oven, maybe frozen. Been a while, though.
ETA also possibly a jarred "simmer sauce" to make something like chicken korma, perhaps even chicken korma.
And wherever these things were I would guess they would be available other places as well.

We've got a few international groceries in town, maybe something will be there.

Yeah, the TJ's frozen is good!

I was kinda thinking that, ambiguously. Or [link]
See, I think a Halloween wedding pretty much begs for this one.

There's a TJs in Salt Lake. But I'm not traveling 40 miles for naan I have to heat up when there are two damned good Indian restaurants within 5 miles of my house.

Part of my issue is that I'm feeding my band leader because he's going to be at the studio doing some session work for me. So crockpot butter chicken == yes because I can just have it there and going for as long as I need. I can probably approximate the time the rice will take, and it will also sit steaming in the cooker pretty happily for a while. But with the naan, I should probably be putting it in the oven at an appropriate time related to when we're going to eat and I have zero idea what time that will be.
Also, I just blew twenty minutes searching the web to find out what kind of beer I should serve with it. Internet consensus seems to say IPA. Which is fine for me and the dude, but probably the SO will want a wheat. What say you, hive mind?

A wheat will work, as long as it's not a super spicy curry. (It'd be fine regardless, just that a wheat is pretty light and can be overwhelmed.)

Cool, it's like Nora has a Beer Signal.
