Homemade Buttery Garlic Naan

In India, when you walk into a restaurant which serves Naan, they have a variety in it with different flavors and textures. From plain naan to butter naan to garlic naan and more… As a result, I decided to share with you my favorite variation called the butter garlic naan

Also, it is easy to make however the method of cooking it is a little different. 

COOKING METHOD FOR NAAN with our Easy Naan Bread Recipe

Firstly, this Indian bread is not fried but roasted. In restaurants, they do it in large charcoal tandoors (Traditional earthen setup for cooking). However, we cannot have this set up in our homes we follow another technique which yields naan’s as good as the restaurant ones.

Indian Naan Bread Recipe (Method)

So, after you roll the naan. Switch on the gas and place a pan or cooker onto it on medium heat. Then, put some water on the back side of the bread. Next, place the naan on a pan or cooker (making sure the water side is touching the pan or cooker). As a result, the water allows the bread to stick to the utensil. Make sure, the utensil you use to do so should not be too hot. The moment you stick the bread to the pan or cooker, turn the utensil upside down. As a result, this brings the gas flames in direct contact with the naan. Now, let the naan cook for 2-3 mins of medium heat. Next, once you get the desired golden brown color turn your pan to normal and cook the other side as well (the side on which the water was applied)

In conclusion, remove from heat and apply butter to it. Serve immediately 

Note, you can even put the naan to cook in the oven at 200 degrees C for 10 mins but I wouldn’t recommend doing this. The naan according to me turns a bit crisp and not soft

Ingredients 

For the dough

• 1 ½ cup all-purpose flour

Combine this yeast mixture with the all-purpose flour. Add the melted butter as well. 

At this stage, the mixture may feel a little dry. Keep adding the warm milk as required. You need to form a dough that is very soft but not sticky. Do not add all the milk at ones or else the dough will turn sticky. 

Once done, place the dough in a greased bowl for 2 hours covered with cling wrap. The dough should increase in volume (fermenting process)

After 2 hours, punch the dough back. Form dough balls of equal sizes to make sure all the naan are of the same size 

Take a smooth dough ball and flatten it a bit. Put some chopped garlic and chopped coriander. Press the garlic and coriander into the dough using a rolling pin. Roll the naan into any shape of your choice.
