SPECIAL GARLIC BUTTER NAAN

 

There are various types of bread. Barbari, ciabatta, foccacia, gommes, lavash, malouge, naan, rye flat bread, sangak, tanoor, yufka and Zanzibar.We Indians love our roti, naan, parathas, and chappathis. For many, an Indian lunch isn't complete without a fresh, fluffy naan bread to soak up all the gravy, whether it's a coconut-scented peshwari or a minced-meat-stuffed keema. It used to be just plain naans with butter. However, nowadays, naan comes in a variety of flavors, such as garlic, paneer, and so on. For naan, the texture, taste, and appearance have all changed. So, today, I'm offering a simple garlic butter naan recipe with shredded paneer as a filler. 😉 Come in and take a look 😊

INGREDIENTS

Flour – 2 cups

Baking powder – ½ tsp.

Sugar – 2 tsp.

Oil – 2 tbsp.

Yogurt – ½ cup

Luke warm milk – 2 tbsp.

Grated paneer – 1 cup (for filling)

Garlic – ½ cup (chopped)

Coriander leaves – ¼ cup

Butter – ½ cup 

Salt – to taste

PREPARATION

1. Combine all of the dry ingredients in a large mixing bowl, then add the yoghurt, oil, and heated milk.

2. You might need more milk than the recipe calls for. You can add water or add according to your preference.

3. Set aside for 30 minutes once you've started kneading the dough. Over-kneading the dough might result in hard naans.

4. Make into balls to flatten the naan form. Take one ball and flatten it with a roller before adding grated paneer. It is folded and then flattened using a roller.

5. Now, I like to spread chopped garlic and coriander leaves.

6. Place the naan on the hot tawa and brush it with butter. For toasting, I like melted butter.

7. Maintain a medium flame because it is easily burned. Try applying it to the opposite side as well and flipping it. Over pressing the naan might result in a big crust forming on top of the naan.

You have your naans ready to eat. This particular naan pairs well with minced meat stew, chili paneer, and chili gopi, among other dishes. The paneer on the inside and the garlic and butter flavour on the outside will make for a delicious meal. Avoid using butter on the naans for a healthier choice, and instead use a small number of low-fat oils. I propose serving these naans with a hot and spicy sour rich creamy sauce and garam garam naans for dinner. Delicious yum 😉
