Last nights tea was especially nice.
Don't know really what I did different but the naan dough was so soft I knew they would be awesome and they were.

Awesome's the word LOUP. I've rarely seen better looking naans. Did you follow Chris's recipe and method or did you change something?
-
Hi SS,
Pretty much followed the recipe although I don't add the onion seeds and only use 50 grams of sugar.
Everything else is the same :)
Best thin is I have 3 balls of naan dough left for tonight...Winner!! ;D
-
I agree SS. Those naans look perfect Loup. When I make the naans I add 1 tbsp greek yoghurt and cut the sugar back too. The resultant dough is so sticky - it appears unworkable. However, the resultant naans are absolutely superb. 100% bir. Have you tried this recipe yet SS?
-
mine were really sticky too. I had to flour my hands to make the balls :o
will try the yogurt trick, cheers :)
-
Have you tried this recipe yet SS?
I haven't but that's only because the sundries, such as naan, are of secondary importance to my home made efforts. Curries are my thing and I'm still not there with those yet!
I am encouraged by the superb results I'm seeing though and although the method and possibly even the recipe is not new I think Chris deserves a pat on the back for getting it out there.

Looks excellent Loup.
A big thumbs up from me for the nan bread recipe, I made mine with fresh green chilli , beautiful.

We are all addicted to my chicken madras. My dad says he is going to start injecting it lols

-
Here you go mate - in glorious technicolour :)

Oops.....you probably meant the Madras, sorry :)
-
Yeah,,,, naan breads are good too though, just couldn't watch that video though, the guy needs to just spit it out not take 5 mins to say one thing! No offence to anyone but a recipe video for naan breads only needs to be 3-4 mins, not 27 8)
-
Haha.
But, to be honest, the recipe is worth the agony. I doubt, Chris will ever make it as a TV star, but it is a thorough video :)

I know!
He drives me nuts he's so slow. I sit there constantly muttering "get to the point man"! ;D

Naan Bread
Ingredients:
1 egg, beaten
200g milk
8g baking powder
2g onion seeds
100g sugar
1kg self-raising flour
Method:
Put the egg, milk, baking powder, onion seeds and sugar into a jug and whisk.
Leave for 30 minutes whisking occasionally.
Put the flour in a mixing bowl and add the mixture plus 330ml of water.
Mix together til you have a dryish dough ? don?t overmix.
Put in a tub, cover with cling film, pressing down, and leave for 2-3 hours at room temperature.
Rub some oil on hands and punch the dough down, tearing it away from the sides of the tub. Give it a good punching, then cover again and put in fridge overnight.
Rub hands with flour and divide dough into balls ? bigger than a golf ball but smaller than a tennis ball. Cover with cling film and leave for 2 hours at room temperature.
Dip ball in flour ? squeeze flat with hand then dip in flour again.
Press out on worktop then roll out to a disc.
Brush oil on top side then put disc on cushion ? oiled side to cushion, stretching the edges gently to desired size.
Spread some water liberally around the edges of the disc then over the rest.
Slap disc onto pre-heated tawa.
Almost immediately, bubbles should start to form. Leave for a few more seconds then turn over tawa and hold the naan about 3-4 inches from the flame. Move it around in circular motion.
After a minute or two, naan should be done.
I only use 50 g of sugar and no onion seeds

will post my madras recipe tomorrow on the main board. Off to bed now :)

I do need to tidy that transcription up a little :P
-
Its a great transcription Garp. Couldn't remember who had done it but I had copied and pasted to a word document ages ago.
I don't need the recipes now for my rice/ curry/ naan exploits but they are backed up in a recipes file just incase I get a knock on the head.
:o
-
Hey thanks for that naan recipe! I'll give it a try sometime. Only bit which isn't too clear is this cushion business but I'll refer to the video for that.
-
Next time I make this recipe I need to convert the kilo weights to ml for fluids and teaspoon/tablespoon for solids. Not including the flour of course.
It is unusual for me to follow a recipe using scales.

divide dough into balls ? bigger than a golf ball but smaller than a tennis ball.
A snooker ball then.

Or racquetball or lacrosse ball !

I always weigh the "balls" they work out around 157 grams each if using 50grams of sugar and as to the liquids I use 200grams of milk and 300 ml of water and add the extra 30 ml if needed :)
-
Chris's original recipe said it should be 10 - I usually get 14.
