Description
Garlic Naan is a delicious Indian flatbread infused with garlic and served warm, perfect for pairing with various dishes.
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 cup plain yogurt
- 3/4 cup warm water
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro, chopped (optional)
- Butter or ghee for brushing
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, salt, baking powder, and baking soda. Mix well.
- Add the yogurt and warm water to the dry ingredients. Stir until a dough begins to form.
- Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 5-7 minutes until it is smooth and elastic.
- Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover with a damp cloth, and let it rest for at least 1 hour at room temperature.
- After resting, divide the dough into 6 equal pieces and shape each piece into a ball.
- Roll out each ball into an oval or round shape, about 1/4 inch thick.
- Heat a cast-iron skillet or non-stick pan over medium-high heat.
- Place one rolled-out naan in the hot skillet. Cook for about 1-2 minutes until bubbles form on the surface.
- Flip the naan and cook for another 1-2 minutes until golden brown.
- Remove from the skillet and brush with melted butter or ghee. Sprinkle with minced garlic and cilantro if desired.
- Repeat with the remaining dough. Serve warm.
Notes
- For a richer flavor, use yogurt made from whole milk.
- Add spices like cumin or coriander to the dough for an extra kick.
