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 :)

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
Hi Loup, can you point me at the recipe please. Thank you
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.

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.
