Post by: joshallen2k on November 20, 2009, 10:52 PM: Thanks!

I used the CA Base, with the spiced oil in the base and in the finished curry.

The Madras was the SnS 2008, and the naans were made per the adapted recipe I posted in the naan recipe section. (minus the baking powder, with a dollop of yogurt added). The Rogan Josh recipe I will post shortly in that section.

I too am interested in the Naans but everything looks really nice truly.
Must get me some of those serving dishes too. I cannot find those plate warmers over here? You know the ones with candles underneath?

Excellent job! ;D

Post by: joshallen2k on November 21, 2009, 10:55 PM: Yes, the naans are brilliant. Thanks for posting the link CA. They are better than a lot of restaurant naans made in a tandoor!

The only modifications I've made since I posted that recipe are the following:

- Omit the baking powder
- Add a few tablespoons of yogurt to the milk/egg mix
- Dropped the initial warm water to about 150ml, and use a little more of the milk/egg mix (about 2 thirds of it)
- I also stopped flattening out the naans on a ghee surface, and started using a little flour and stretching by hand

The dough should be only slightly tacky when finished kneading.

I've also started using a stand mixer with a dough hook on a 10 minute knead. This made a noticeable difference from the hand-kneading. The hot oven and pizza stone are critical IMO. They cook in about 90 seconds, and even get crispy bits on the bottom of the naan like a tandoor.

Enjoy!

Post by: Bobby Bhuna on November 22, 2009, 10:04 AM: Absolutely amazing! Those nans have inspired me to buy a pizza stone. Can you get similar results with hand kneading? Thanks BB.

I'm sure you could. I guess I just wasn't kneading enough when I did it by hand. The stand mixer just seemed to do a much better job.

Post by: Panpot on December 01, 2009, 12:24 PM: Josh, an obvious question. Can you point me in the direction of where I might get a good Pizza Stone? PP

Post by: joshallen2k on December 01, 2009, 02:35 PM: Yikes. I've forgotten the names of most of the UK retailers.

Here is one from Amazon.co.uk: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Kitchen-Craft-Piece-Pizza-Stone/dp/B0001IX0XK/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=kitchen&qid=1259678037&sr=8-1 (http://www.amazon.co.uk/Kitchen-Craft-Piece-Pizza-Stone/dp/B0001IX0XK/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=kitchen&qid=1259678037&sr=8-1)

Great buy. Always put in the oven from cold. Putting one in a hot oven will pretty much shatter it immediately.

Post by: Panpot on December 12, 2009, 11:03 AM: I got the Pizza Stone from Amazon delivered free all for 9 quid. I intend to make the nan tomorrow and will experiment with making Peshwari nan too. Inspired yet again by the site tks PP

Post by: joshallen2k on December 12, 2009, 03:29 PM: Hope it turns out well Panpot. Remember to let the stone heat up in the oven at Max temperature for at least an hour!
