Ingredients
3 Cups Standard Flour or Maida
1.5 tsp of Active Yeast
2 tsp of Sugar
1/3 cup warm water
1/3 tsp Baking Powder
1/2 Cup Yoghurt
1/2 Cup Warm Milk
1/4 Cup Cooking Oil
1/2 tsp Salt
2 cloves minced garlic
Garnish:
3 Tblsp Melted Butter
3 Cloves Minced Garlic
chopped Parsley or Cilantro
Method:
Add the sugar and yeast to the warm water(1/4 cup) and wait for it to bubble.In a mixing bowl add flour, baking powder, yoghurt, milk, cooking oil, salt, garlic, risen yeast. Mix and knead to obtain a smooth ball. If too dry then add little milk. If too wet then add more flour. The dough should not stick to you fingers. In the same bowl, spray it with oil and place the ball of dough in it. Spray some oil on top of the dough and cover the bowl with glad wrap or foil. Allow it to rise- keep it for 45 minutes to an hour.
Remove and then divide it into 8 balls and again cover it and keep it for another 10 minutes.
Melt the butter and add the minced garlic to it. Keep aside.
Remove and roll each ball into an oval shaped naan. Dust it with saome standard flour while rolling. Finish rolling all the Naan’s.
Heat a Tawa or Pan. Spread some oil on it and when hot place the Naan on it. When bubbles start appearing, turn it over and fry the other side. Spray or sprinkle some oil on top of the Naan and then turn over and sprinkle oil on other side.
Take it out and brush with Melted butter and garlic. Then sprinkle with chopped cilantro or parsley.
If you want to have the Naan later, then first wrap them in a clean cloth and when ready, remove and brush with melted butter and garlic and sprinkle cilantro and heat in microwave for 45 seconds.
If you want to store it. Then when it has cooled down, place in ziplock bags and keep outside for a couple of days or in refrigerator for a few days or in freezer for a couple of months. Do not apply the melted butter.
When ready to use. Remove from freezer, allow to thaw at room temperature and then apply melted butter and heat in microwave for 45 seconds.
