Garlic Naan

Butter naan just happened at the household, very impromptu. We were running out of our fav brand of rotis and didn’t want to substitute with anything else. Enter home made Naan! Much easier to make than traditional rotis, melt in your mouth. This is a stovetop recipe, feel free to use your fancy tandoor oven if you have one.

Tip: This one uses half white flour, half wheat. Because the ‘Indulgence slider‘ is a personal thing :-)

I hope you like this instant naan recipe!

Recipe

Stovetop Naan: ~30mins total

1. Mix all wet portion ingredients, set side. Luke warm milk is best.

2. Sieve all the dry ingredients in a mixing bowl, set aside.

3. Slowly and gradually, add wet mix to dry knead the dough for 3-4 minutes.

4. Use a few drops of oil in your palms, to make sure the kneaded dough moves swiftly. It is expected to be sticky.

5. Cover, leave in a warm spot for 15 mins.

6. Make golf ball sized balls and flatten on a rolling board with a rolling pin.

7. Garnish with sesame and cilantro on top and flatten it again, oval shape is best.

8. This is the raw, uncooked Naan.

9. Heat a cast iron pan.

10. Spread drops of water with a basting brush on the backside of the naan. Just enough for the naan to stick to the pan.

11. Lay the wet side on the hot pan.

12. Watch the naan rise and then flip the pan( not the naan) to expose the naan to the flame directly. Naan should remain stuck.

13. A good sign is when bubbles appear. Generous heat to the other side with gas stove flames.

14. For topping, mix softened butter/ghee with garlic, sesame, dried parsley and salt. This is garlic herbed butter.

15. Top warm naan with plain or herbed butter, gobble down! Can use vegan butter too.
