Add a photoNaan is an Indian flatbread, history says it came to India along with the rulers from Central Asia and slowly became part of the Indian royal menu, whether it is rich and spicy meat curries or light and hearty lentil stews Naan is one bread which humbly compliments all. One of the most popular breads across the country - Naan is usually made with all purpose flour using yeast as fermenting agent, in this recipe curd is being used instead of yeast though using curd doubles the dough rising time but the end result is no different.
Ingredients
- 3 Cup all purpose flour (maida)
- ½ Cup sour curd, at room temperature
- 1 tsp sugar
- ¾ tsp baking powder
- ¼ tsp baking soda
- 2 tbsp ghee
- Salt, as per taste
- Lukewarm water
- ¼ Cup nigella seeds
Directions
- Sieve maida with baking powder and baking soda in a bowl and make a dent in the centre. Pour curd, salt, sugar and ghee in that dent.
- Mix well and let it rest for 1 - 2 minutes, gather the flour with your finger tips and using 1 tbsp of lukewarm water at a time bind firm dough. Knead well for 5 minutes.
- Form a smooth ball of dough and keep aside covered in warm place for 4 - 5 hours.
- Heat flat pan/griddle over medium heat. Divide the dough into equal golf ball sized rounds.
- Dust the rolling platform with maida, roll dough ball into small circle and sprinkle 1/4 tsp nigella seeds on top.
- Now roll the naan into tear shape.
- Apply water on top of naan with your fingers, and turn over it to the hot tawa so that the water applied part sticks to the pan.
- Cook in medium flame and after a minute it has puffed up marks on top.
- Now turn the griddle upside down and cook the other side on direct flame till the other side becomes light golden in colour.
- If you are not comfortable flipping the pan, simply put the naan in direct flame like Chapatis and cook until it get charred marks on top.
- Apply some ghee/butter just before serving. Serve hot!
