Garlic Naan

Yet another flat bread - Naan. This is also prepared in tadoor. So we will make it on pressure cooker/iron kadai at home. Let me share with you garlic naan recipe.


Ingredients

Maida - 2 cup

Yeast - 1 tsp

Oil - 2 tbsp

Sugar - 1 tsp

salt as required

Ghee/ Oil for greasing and brushing


For the topping 


Garlic crushed - 3 tbsp

Jeera - 2 tsp

Green chillies - 4 finely chopped

Sugar - 2 tsp

Lemon juice - 2 tbsp


* Add all these ingredients and make a coarse 

paste.


* In a small bowl add yeast and sugar mix it with 4 

tablespoon lukewarm water. Allow it to ferment for 

about 8 minutes.



Make a soft dough using rest of the ingredients add

 even the ground paste. Add sufficient water knead it

 till it become soft and smooth and elastic. For about

 10 minutes.


* Cover it with a soft muslin cloth and keep aside till 

the dough doubles its quantity. For about 30 minutes


*Gently press the dough and remove excess air.

* Make a big lemon sized ball and roll out naan. You 

can shape it like roti or like little long restaurant style

naan by gently pulling the sides of the roti to make 

oval shape. 


* Grease a pressure cooker/iron kadai with oil. Keep

 it upside down over open flame. Carefully apply

 little water on each naan and stick the wet side of 

naan around the inside of the cooker/iron kadai.

Place the cooker upside down directly on the flame 

and cook till both side are golden brown. If you are 

using a pressure cooker you can make 2 or 3 naans 

at time. ( This step need little practice)

Remove naan and apply butter before serving.  Serve

 hot with Kadai vegetables, Dahl Makhani and raitha.



* Variation : Instead of garlic you can use roasted 

pudina leaves. Before serving gently sprinkle coarsely

powdered pudina leaves.
