Garlic Naan - Chrysl

Recipe by Chrysl Castelino







Ingredients:
garlic-coriander mixture
3 cups maida
1 cup yoghurt
3 tbsp milk powder
1/2 tsp baking soda
1 tbsp sugar
2 tbsp ghee
salt to taste
water as required
garlic (chopped)
coriander leaves (chopped)
butter for basting

Steps:
  1. Combine the maida, ghee, yoghurt, milk powder, sugar, baking soda and salt in a bowl and knead to a smooth dough using water if required. Make sure the dough is soft and elastic. 
    dough rested for 10 hours
  2. Cover with a wet tea towel and let it rest for 8-12 hours. This dough will not rise or double in size. But the resting makes the nans softer and doesn't get hard or chewy once it cools. 

  3. Divide the dough into equal portions.
  4. Roll out the dough into oval shape using a rolling pin. Make sure you do not make it too thin nor too thick.
  5. Do not roll the nan larger than your tawa size. 
  6. Add a teaspoon full of the garlic coriander mixture on the nan and press it in place with the rolling pin.
  7. Place the nan on a hot tawa. After a minute or two, bubbles will start to appear. 
  8. At this point lower the flame and cook for another minute or two. 
  9. Now flip the nan over and cook the other side for 2-3 minutes on low flame. 
  10. Flip it over and baste with butter.
  11. Cut into 2-3 pieces and serve hot.
  12. ENJOY!
