    Naan Recipe

    I always wanted to try a naan recipe that taste similar to restaurant style. I have made a quite a naan recipe in this blog. Check out my Wheat Naan, Garlic Naan, Butter Naan Recipes..Traditionally naan bread are made in a tandoor oven and has yeast in it. But i made this naan without a tandoor and yeast. but the result was amazing..Now i am glad that i found this new trick for cooking a naan on tawa, you have to try it to see the magic..

    Ingredients for Naan Recipe

    • All Purpose Flour / Maida - 3 cups + Extra if need and for rolling
    • Milk - 1.5 cup
    • Sugar - 1 tbsp
    • Salt to taste
    • Baking Soda - 1 tsp
    • Coriander leaves / Cilantro - ½ cup finely chopped
    • Oil - 2 tbsp
    • Butter for smearing on naan

    I added some coriander in this naan to make it more flavourful. You can add whatever makes you fancy. I have so many different types of naan on my mind, will post them soon. I will soon post the traditional naan recipe too..So keep on checking..

    How to Make Naan Recipe

    1. Take milk in a mixing bowl, add in salt, sugar, baking soda, 1 tbsp of oil, chopped coriander leaves and mix well.
    2. Add in flour and knead into a soft dough. If you want add more flour.
    3. Now drizzle the remaining 1 tbsp of oil over the dough and knead it one time. Cover and let it rest for 30 mins.
    4. Dust the work surface generously, punch a little dough and roll into circles.
    5. Now use your hands to elongate the circle, so it forms into a traditional naan bread shape.
    6. Heat a tawa with handles.
    7. Now dip your fingers in water and spread water on top of the naan bread.
    8. Once you have applied water, flip the wet side on hot tawa, as soon as you drop it, small bubbles will appear.
    9. Don't cook it too long at this point, if you cook long then the naan will get cooked and leave the pan, so you cannot flip it over.
    10. Once you see small bubbles, flip the tawa and show the top side over the open flame.
    11. Show it on all side, you will see some black spots on the naan.
    12. Now apply some butter generously on top of the naan.
    13. Remove the naan to a plate. Serve hot with your favorite curry.

    Notes

    1) Don't cook it too long once you put the wet side on hot tawa, if you cook long then the naan will get cooked and leave the pan, so you cannot flip the tawa over and show it on open flame.
    2) Use a tawa which has plastic handles, so it is easy to flip the tawa and cook.

      Hi, I am hear in freezing Virginia enjoying your blog and updates on Facebook. I have a quick question about this recipe. Is it supposed to say 1 teaspoon baking powder instead of soda? I tend to think of baking soda needing a sour ingredient like yogurt to counteract it? Thanks again for all the lovely recipes and you kind and gentle manner online. Mary Bendfeldt

      @Mary Nowlin Bendfeldt No it needs 1 tsp of baking soda. In this recipe, you dont need to add yogurt, just milk. Somehow it works.I am not sure how, but it works. try it and see the results.

      @Shalini RBaking soda is the thing which makes the naan soft. You can use baking powder instead.

      @Sravanthi JandhyalaYou can just flip it over to the tawa itself. It wont get the black dots, but still taste will be good.

      @farida I am not sure..When you flip the naan over and show it over the flame, it will fall off..may be you can season your non stick pan with little oil and wipe it off with a tissue, then make the naan

      @RegiYou have to flip it as soon as you stick it to the tawa. if it is cooked for longer then it will fall off
