Recipe Garlic naan in a skillet
Time: 75 min
No. of persons: 3-4
Pan: VH25, VH25H, VH30H, VH30
Ingredients:
- 2 cups flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup yoghurt
- 1/4 cup milk
- 2 tablespoons melted butter
- 3 cloves of garlic, finely chopped
- Extra melted butter or oil for frying in the skillet
- Fresh coriander leaves, finely chopped (optional)
Instructions:
- In a large bowl mix together the flour, baking powder, sugar and salt.
- Add the yoghurt and milk to the flour mixture and mix well. Then knead the dough on a lightly floured surface for about 5 minutes, until the dough is soft and elastic.
- Place the dough in a bowl lightly greased with oil and cover with a damp cloth. Let the dough rest in a warm place for about 1 hour to allow it to rise.
- Heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chopped garlic to the melted butter and stir well.
- Divide the dough into small balls, about the size of a golf ball. Roll out each ball into a thin oval shape, about 1/4 inch thick.
- Brush a piece of dough with the garlic-butter mixture on one side. Place it in the skillet with the smeared side down.
- Bake the naan bread for 1-2 minutes, until bubbles appear and the underside is golden brown. Turn the naan bread over and fry the other side also until golden brown, another 1-2 minutes.
- Repeat this process for the rest of the dough, each time greasing the skillet with the garlic-butter mixture before adding a new piece of dough.
- Optional: Brush the warm garlic naan with extra melted butter and sprinkle with fresh coriander leaves for extra flavour and aroma.
- Serve the garlic naan warm as a side dish to curries, stews or other dishes.
