This delicious recipe for Indian naan bread is easy and simple to make, with the naan being cooked under the grill. I added garlic and coriander to the dough but you could also add other ingredients such as poppy seeds, sesame seeds or nigella seeds.
Ingredients:
- 2-4 tsp sunflower oil
- 250 g (8½ oz) plain flour
- ¼ tsp salt
- ½ tsp bicarbonate of soda
- 170 g (6 oz) Greek-style yogurt
- 2 cloves of garlic
- Bunch of coriander
- 2 spoonfuls of butter
Method:
- Mix the flour, salt, garlic, 2 tablespoons of oil, coriander and bicarbonate of soda into a bowl. Add the yogurt a little at a time, and bind the flour to make a soft dough. Turn out onto a lightly floured surface and knead for 5–7 minutes or until smooth. Keep the dough covered for 10-15 minutes in a warm place.
- Layer the grill with foil, brush some oil on to them and and preheat it to high. Divide the dough into 4 pieces. On the lightly floured surface, roll out one portion into an elongated oval.
Transfer this naan onto the greased foil and cook it under the grill until the naan bread bubbles up and browns slightly in places. - Once golden brown, turn the naan and cook the second side. Wrap the cooked naan in a tea-towel to keep hot while grilling the remaining breads. Add some butter and serve Garlic and Coriander Naan bread hot with your favourite curry.
