It's your lucky day! There are so many of us here love Indian cuisine!!! You can find a lot more Naan or dhal other Indian recipes here on TKL... I have posted this one before. Though I know most Indian chefs use baking powder to make Naan, but I use yeast for mine. It's more troublesome... (I have not tried to make it with b.p. yet. I will one day!) Try search using "content" coz many of us dont' start our posts with the name of the recipes. Hope you like it. ------------------------------------------------------------------- Naan
Ingredients: 2/3 cup (16ml) warm milk/water 1 t. (3.5g) dry yeast 1 t. sugar 2 cups (300g) plain flour 1 t. salt 4 T. ghee, melted (clarified butter; with the milk solids removed, this fat can be heated to a high temperature without burning.) 2 T. yogurt 2 t. kalonji ( also known as black onion seeds or nigella or black cumin seeds)
Method: 1. Whisk milk/water, yeast and sugar in small bowl until yeast is dissolved; cover (with damp clothe or cling paper), stand in warm place 10 min.
2. Sift flour and salt (3 times) into a large bowl; add yeast mixture, half the ghee and yogurt. Mix to a soft dough then knead, on floured surface, about 5 min or until dough is smooth and elastic.
3. Place dough in a large greased bowl; cover, stand in warm place for about 1 1/2 hours or until the dough is doubled in size.
4. Punch down dough; knead on floured surface for 5 min. Divide dough into 6 pieces; roll each pieces into a 20cm round Nan.
5. Cover oven tray with foil; grease foil. Brush Nan with a little of the remaining ghee, sprinkle with some of the kalonji; Cook Nan, one at a time, under very hot grill for about 2 minutes each side or until puffed and just browned.
