This recipe uses a whole egg for each person, which raises the cholesterol level per serving in the nutrition label for this recipe. The DASH dietary approach is about balancing intake over a period of time. Unless you are under specific dietary restrictions, and as long as you reduce the cholesterol intake from other food during the same period, the DASH diet plan allows for eggs intake of no more than four per week.
Naan is an Indian flat bread. The Indialife® brand seems to have less salt and fat that other forms of flat bread. Can be substituted with any low/no salt corn tortilla or flat bread.
