Naan









Ingredients

All purpose flour – 4 cup
Yeast – 1 packet(active dry yeast)
Milk – 1/2 cup
Yogurt – ½ cup
Water – ½ cup
Sugar – 1 tsp
Salt – 1 tsp
Butter – 4 tbsp

Method

  1. Dissolve yeast and sugar in warm milk. Keep it for 10mnts till bubbles appear.
  2. Sift the flour. Add butter, salt and mix it well.Then add the yogurt.
  3. Now pour the yeast mixture . Add necessary water as you mix into a dough.
  4. Put it into a large bowl. Keep it closed with a plastic wrap for 4-5 hrs. The dough will double.
  5. Just before making take it out and make it into tennis ball size. At this point donot knead the dough too much.
  6. Add flour on the surface and make it into 8inch rounds.
  7. Take a deep frying pan. Donot use flat ones. Let the heat be medium medium high.
  8. Brush water on one side of the naan and put that side down into the pan.
  9. Cover the pan with a plate.After 2-3 mnts open the cover.
  10. You can see that it will start to bulge on the upper side and cooked in the bottom.
    With a pakkad put the uncooked side directly to the flame. And cook it rotatating it.
You can see that one side is smoothly done and the other side has small bulges here and there with flame marks. Cut into half and serve it with any gravy.
