Garlic Naan

I would say naan is my favourite, i love the soft bread a lot. It just soaks up the curries and taste just mouthwatering. I love naan with either butter chicken or butter paneer. There are few varieties of them in my blog as well, check all of them here.

I love Naan Bread to have with the curries which I order in any restaurants. As far as I remember I have tasted plain naan, butter naan, garlic naan, coriander Naan, stuffed Naan, cheese naan. I tasted that in a restaurant called sparsa, which is in kayakumari. That was so good and cheese naan was my favourite one apart from garlic and butter Naan.

Usually they make naan using yeast. But I saw in one of anjum anand’s cooking show, in which she made naan using baking powder. I tried it and it was pretty successful. But I added some extra stuff to the naan dough to make it even more special. And the result was so good.

How to Make Garlic Naan on Tawa

Take curd, milk, baking soda, sugar. Mix well. Set aside.
Add garlic in a blender and puree. Set aside.
Take flour, salt, garlic, oil in a bowl and rub with your hands.
Add in milk mix and knead it to dough.Let it rest for 1 hour.
Divide it into equal balls. Roll it into rounds.
Heat a tawa till hot. Wet the top of the naan with water and flip the water side down on hot tawa.
Invert it over hot flame and let it cook till you see black spots on it.
Brush it with some ghee or butter. Serve.

Garlic Naan in oven

Preheat the grill mode in the oven to 250°C /500°F
Take a small portion out of the dough and roll it into circle. Now elongate the top with your hands so that it forms naan shape(oval shape)
Place it on a baking tray. Sprinkle with some garlic and press it with your hands so that it get stuck to the naan.
Place it in the oven on the top rack near to the grill and cook it for 3-5 mins till the top gets little golden spots.
Remove from the oven and brush it with butter.
Serve warm with any curry.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

1)Can we freeze naan?

Of course you could freeze cooked naan in a ziploc bag for upto a month. Warm the naan bread in a 150 degree c low oven for 10 mins before serving.

2)Can we make naan dough in advance?

yes you can make and store naan dough in fridge upto 2 days.

3)Are naan breads unhealthy?

Naan bread is made using all purpose flour which is refined flour and it is not the healthy ingredients. but naan made using wheat flour is rich in fiber and healthy.

4)Can we substitute whole wheat flour for refined flour?

yes you can use whole wheat flour. The texture will be just right. You can even use half plain flour and half wheat flour for better texture.

Hi Aarthi,Nice innovative recipe. You have used 5cups of maida, Can you pls tell how much grams of flour will your 1 cup measure? Because my cup holds 250 grams. Is it same cup measurement you have used for curd, milk?........UmaRaghu/Poland

@Unknownmy cup carry 120 gms of flour and 250 ml of curd and milk.

This recipe doesn't work correctly with measuremets. U adjust the quantity of milk and curd accordingly.
