Yummy Garlic Naan brushed with
some butter goes very well with any side dish. I also added chopped coriander
and onion seeds/ kalongi. You can also add sesame seeds to add more flavour.
These can very easily be made on a tawa and gives a complete satisfaction in
having then hot right in the comfort of your home. Actually, I want to make naan
with saffron wash, which is very famous here in Aurangabad which is served with
Kalia/ Masaledar Mutton Curry. But I never seen it before so made simple
regular naan to accompany my Kalia gravy. I have already posted recipe of naan
with yeast, but this time decided to make it without yeast or egg and I must
say it turned out well. It was so soft and remained soft for a long time. Here
for my recipe, I used 1: 1 proportion of all purpose flour and whole wheat
flour instead of only all purpose flour to make it healthy. But it totally
depends upon your preference, either you can use like I did or only all purpose
flour or only whole wheat atta. The
method is really simple and no need of tandoor for this recipe. A simple tawa
will work in an awesome manner. Though I love eating rustic pillowy soft naans
in dhabas, cooked in a tandoor, trust me when I say, you won’t have to go to a
dhaba again to enjoy naans. This make a hearty and filling meal when it is
paired with a sumptuous side dish like paneer tikka masala or paneer butter
masala or any simple non-veg gravy like me that gets done in only 15-20
minutes. This method is really helpful for those who do not want to use yeast
for making naan. Follow the step-by-step picture recipe and make dhaba style
soft naan in the comfort of your kitchen
whenever you are craving for it.
INGREDIENTS:
2 Cups All Purpose Flour [see
notes]
2 tablespoon Oil
½ teaspoon Baking Soda
1 teaspoon Sugar
Salt as needed
¼ Cup Curd
Luke warm Water as needed
1 tablespoon chopped Coriander
1 teaspoon Sesame Seeds
1 teaspoon Nigella Seeds
[optional]
METHOD:
STEP 1 – In a mixing bowl or
plate take flour and make a well in the center.
STEP 2 – Add curd and sugar in
it. Also add salt and baking soda.
STEP 3 - Combine the ingredients
using your fingers.
STEP 4 – Add warm water in it and
start kneading it. Make a soft dough with it. Do not use a lot of water.
STEP 5 – Add oil and knead it
again for 4-5 minutes.
STEP 6 – Cover the dough and let
it rest for at least 2 hours for fermentation.
STEP 7 – After 2 hours knead the
dough again.
Divide it into equal parts and keep aside.
STEP 8 – Now dust a rolling board
with some dry flour. Take one ball and start rolling it on it.[see notes]
STEP 9 – Sprinkle some sesame
seeds on the board and roll it again.
STEP 10 –
STEP 11 – Heat an iron tawa/ griddle.
STEP 12 – Turn upside rolled down
naan and apply water on the other side.
Take the naan in your hands and gently
transfer it to the hot tawa keeping water side down. It will stick to the tawa
and this helps to cook the naan.
STEP 13 – Cook until bubbles have
formed on top and the bottom side gets lightly coloured.
STEP 14 – Pick up the tawa with
the help of handle carefully and flip it up over the burner flame. Move the tawa and cook the naan evenly from all sides. You can see the brown patches on it. Keep the flame high here.
.
STEP 15 – Now remove it from the
tawa and smear oil/ ghee or butter on the surface of naan and serve it hot.
Follow the same process and make soft, crispy and buttery naan on the stove top
without tandoor or oven.
Remove from flame and brush with butter.
NOTES: *You can make it with ½ - ½
whole wheat flour and all purpose flour also. Here I used both the flours to
prepare my naan. Choice is yours. You can used any one flour as per your
liking.
*You can make them circle or oval
shape as you like.
*You have to apply garlic, chopped
coriander and sesame seeds on the same side of naan. If you don’t want to
sprinkle garlic and coriander on the naan then you can add directly into the
dough making process.
