Title: Easy Naans
Post by: Edwin Catflap on March 10, 2014, 09:36 AM
Hi Guys

Just done the Happy Chris/CBM naans this weekend and cant belive how easy they are. I left the dough overnight as per Chris and made them on my tava just before going to the pub on Friday night. I took one with me and the guys in the pub thougt i was kidding and that I had bought them. I also had the "restaurant quality" accolade!!

I love a Peshwari naan but alas my g/f always overrules me and orders garlic naan too - look foward to seeing your results on that one EC.

Ed - your naans look amazing - better than most naans served in actual BIRs.

When I did my naan experiments, I used Dip's as I had the ingredients easily to hand. I don't think it matters which one you use, just pick your favourite sheekh recipe and give them a go.

Cheers George and guys!

I must say i was well shocked on how good they turned out!!

Hope I can repeat it next time but definitely worth doing and any thought of buying them from supermarkets is now well and truly resigned to the bin!

Ok thanks Gav. It's so long since I made a seekh kebab I'll probably just pick a recipe at random and see how it goes. Would you recommend Dip's to start with?

Certainly, it came 2nd in the group test and I had all the ingredients in the cupboard.
http://www.curry-recipes.co.uk/curry/index.php/topic,4775.0.html (http://www.curry-recipes.co.uk/curry/index.php/topic,4775.0.html) When i did my naan trials, the best way was to just make a big thumb pocket in the dough ball and fill it with mix. Gather the sides back up over the top of the filling, pinching to seal, turn it over so the sealed pocket is on the bottom and then carefully roll it out. I got about 6 naans worth from 250gms of mix so each keema naan will probably work out about 50/60p each so for me its worth having a go and not a lot lost if a few go wrong. Post a photo.

Now we know Chris's naan recipe was a success

I haven't made a keema naan yet but that's the way i would go
A complete happy keema naan

Hi All

Made a hybrid of CBM's and Dips kebabs using the foil technique and must say they were spot on!! Lovely and moist (better than faffing with my flat bladed skewers and less dry) Sand a hint of heat. (I used 2 tbs of madras paste and 1 tbsp of Abduls mix powder). I'll probably add some fresh chili next time as the guys in the pub recommended it.

Anyway I failed with the Keema naans as I rolled them out with a rolling pin and the meat spilled out and stuck to the tava which meant they got a little singed, so I guess I would recommend CA's technique of forming the shape with your hands. Anyway taste wise the pub crowd scoffed the lot!!
