Garlic Naan

by Pooja 9. April 2010 07:59

Hmm Finally I overcomed my so called "Naan Complex" last night by created delicious Gralic Naan!!! some reason I thought I won't be able to make Naan at home. Goes good with almost all Indian currys specially daal makhani.  It is usually cooked in Tandoor but I made it work with conventional oven.

Direction

  • 2 cup all purpose flour/maida
  • pinch of salt and sugar
  • 2 tsp of oil
  • 2 tbsp curd/yogurt
  • 1 tsp dry yeast
  • 1/2 cup luke warm water.
  • pinch of baking soda - optional
  • 4 Cloves of garlic finely chopped. No Garlic paste plz!

Direction

  • In luke warm water put yeast and keep it aside for 10 minutes.
  • Mix all purpose flour, soda, salt and sugar very well.
  • Add oil, garlic and curd and mix it properly. This will make Naan flaky.
  • Now with the help of yeast mix, knead dough very well. Add extra water if needed or extra flour if its too soft for you.
  • After dough is kneaded "VERY WELL", cover it and keep it in warm place for few hrs may take upto 3 hrs or more. dough will rise and double in volume.
  • Heat oven at 500 Degree for 30 minutes. Keep Pizza stone in it , if you have one or cover baking sheet with aluminum foil.
  • Divide dough into 6 equal parts. We can usually roll 2 pieces at a time since conventional ovens are same.
  • Roll 2 pieces of Naan and put it on baking sheet or pizza stone. It will take 2-3 minutes to cook Naan. cook Naan on Middle rack of oven.
  • Finish rest of pieces and you can butter Naans if you like once they are cooked.

Enjoy!!!
