Butter Garlic Naan Served with hot & spicy Chicken Masala

Tried for the first time — Garlic Naan — and it turned out so well that my son said he would prefer to have my butter garlic naan instead of restaurant one’s . You can very well guess my state of mind at that particular moment — all the day’s tiredness  just whisked off  —

Note :  Have made these garlic naan without using any yeast —

Star Ingredient :

Garlic

Main Ingredients :

• 500 gm of maida or all-purpose flour
• 1 cup of yogurt
• 3 tbsp of vegetable oil
• 1/2 teaspoon of salt
• 1 teaspoon of sugar
• 1/4 cup of finely chopped garlic and coriander leaves
• 100 gm of Amul butter

Method:

In order to make the dough , mix in the yogurt , oil, salt and sugar with the flour , add in the required amount of water to make a smooth and soft dough.

Grease the dough with cooking oil and place it in another bowl and keep it covered and leave the dough for at least 2 to 3 hours.

After the standing time , knead the dough again for 2 to 3 minutes .  Divide the dough into 5 to 6 equal portions , make round shape balls from it and again leave it for 30 minutes or so .

Take a ball and coat it with dry flour , place it on a rolling board and flatten it , then roll into a long and oval shaped disk ( around 6 inches long and 1/2 cm thick ).

Sprinkle some chopped garlic and coriander over it  and then press it gently with a rolling-pin. Turn the naan  ( keeping the garlic sprinkled side down), wet the top surface with water using hand or brush.

Heat a cast iron tawa  and then place the rolled naan with the wet surface down.  This will make the naan stick to the tawa – within minutes tiny bubbles will appear on the surface.

Now grab the tawa with its handle and turn it upside down and keep it over direct flame.Move the tawa on a circular motion until tiny brown spots appear , this will take about a minute or so.

Remove the naan with a spatula , it should have nice golden brown colour on the bottom surface.

Brush the Garlic Naan with butter and serve it with your favourite curry  (paneer, chicken, fish, vegetable , simple dal or dal makhani the  choice is unlimited) today I have served my family with chicken masala —  🙂

Happy Cooking —-😊
