Instructions
Step 1:
Combine flour, baking powder and salt in a medium bowl. Mix with a fork for about 5 seconds. Add yoghurt into the flour mixture. Mix well with a fork until a thick paste-like dough is formed.
Step 2:
Heavily flour the workbench, your hands and rolling pin.
Step 3:
Scoop a heaped spoonful of dough onto the floured surface. Dust dough with extra flour and form a round smooth ball with your floured hands. Does not have to be perfect. Mould i to a log (keep well floured to prevent sticking) and cut into portion sizes, I like to halve and then halve each half top when making four even portions.
Step 4:
Roll out into a round(ish) flat disk, (I find it easier to use my floured hands to sculpt into shape, flouring and flipping the naan 3-4 times in the process) about 15cm/5inch in diameter. Okay to go a bit smaller or larger according to preference/portioning. Do not make too thin as Naan will tear/fall apart. It may take a couple of times to get the hang/feel of this right.
Repeat for the remaining 4 (or however many) portions. Best to roll and cook 1 naan at a time. You can prep the next naan while the other is cooking.
Step 5:
Cook for ⏰ 2 to 2½ minutes per side ⏰ or until golden brown in a buttered (then wiped down) heavy-based pan or skillet on 🔥 high heat. 🔥 I flip the Naan a couple of times during cooking to ensure even browning on both sides. Pro tip: wipe pan clean and re butter/wipe down before every naan you cook.
Step 6:
Melt butter in microwave or in pan on stove (optional; add crushed garlic to taste) and brush generously on both sides once cooked. Loosely cover cooked naan with a tea towel or foil whilst the rest are being cooked.
Serve warm with your favourite curry!
I have added a delicious slow cooker Butter Chicken to my profile these go great with!
I have also added my easy home made Greek yoghurt recipe you can use to make these with too!
You can experiment with adding cilantro, cheese or anything you like to this recipe to make your own version of naan the way you/your whanau like them 😊
