Naan

One of the long waited recipe to be tried, and one of the items in a list when in party or in hotels. Finally got a recipe and when tried it was light, fluffy :) The ingredients are very simple but the trick is the way its prepared... Check out these steps!!!



Ingredients:

1. Maida/All purpose flour - 2 cups
2. Yeast - 1tsp
3. Sugar - 1tsp
4. Salt - 1tsp
5. Ghee/Butter - 4 tblspn
6. Baking soda - 1/4 tsp
7. Yougurt - 2tblspn
8. Luke warm water - 2/3 rd cup

Toppings:

1. Sesame seeds
2. Coriander leaves/dry methi leaves

Method:

1. Take luke warm water in a cup, dissolve yeast ad sugar and keep aside
2. Allow it to rise, which normally takes 5-10 mins
3. Sift flour and salt in a bowl and add yeat-sugar solution, yogurt and half the ghee
4. Mix to form smooth dough, knead on flat surface to make it smoother
5. Keep in greased covered bowl, in warm place and allow to stand for atleast 1 hour (good to keep for 2 or 3 hours). It will double in size
6. Knead the dough for 5 more minutes by punching it down
7. Divide into lemon sized balls. Flatten each ball using hand and add toppings
8. Now heat a pan and grease it with oil and wipe it off with kitchen tissue/towel
9. Place flattened dough and cook in a medium heat
10. Few minutes it will puff up as in pic below



11. Then add ghee/melted butter on 2-3 spots and turn it on
12. Cook for few more minutes and remove
13. Immediately wrap it in a kitchen tissue and Serve hot with your favorite side dish !!!

Note:

1. If not able to form a dough with step 2 and 3, use milk enough to form a dough. Do not use water
2. Check for the side dish in my post 'Palak Paneer' that goes well with this!
