Garlic Naans

This was a great recipe for homemade naans.  Honestly you will not order them from outside once you try this out.  The best thing about them is NO YEAST and they can be made on the stove top.  You don't need a tandoor or oven for these.




The Final result was a soft delicious naan.


Ingredients & Method 

04 pcs Fresh Bread 
1 cup Fresh Yogurt
1/4 tsp Baking Soda
2 tsp sugar
2 cups flour
1 tsp salt
kalonji, dhania leaves 
2 tbsp butter + 1 clove crushed garlic



Roughly break the bread into chunks and process in a mixer to get crumbs


Into the crumbs add the sugar, baking soda and curd, mixing well and keep aside for half an hour


After half an hour add in approx 2 cups flour and 1 tsp salt and bring everything together.

Knead into a smooth dough and keep in an oiled bowl, covered to prevent a skin forming, for at least 2 hours.

Roll out the dough using minimal flour.  Press down some Kalonji or chopped garlic onto one side.

Heat a tawa, sprinkle it with water and put the naan on the water.  Cover with a lid to keep steam in.  Ensure flame is high.

When the naan lifts of the tawa easily cook on an open flame using a steel mesh - this can be done direct on the flame also - with the uncooked side facing the flame.


Once done brush with garlic butter and serve hot.
