you can try mixing those ingredients into a paste with milk and then pressing it into your nan dough

How close in taste and texture does your paste with milk come to the fillings in BIR-sourced Peshwari naan?

George it's OK but not nearly as close as I'd like. Like jamieb728 says it needs some work and I am still struggling to produce a plain naan that I am happy with. It eludes me for sure.

Do you mean the bread or the filling isn't as close as you'd like? Or neither perhaps! I've recently bought some plain naans from Lidl and Sainsbury's for about 50p or 60p for a pack of two. They're not too bad and could easily be used as a 'vehicle' for tests on a filling.

Not entirely happy with either to be honest though my naans are edible they are missing a certain something that I can't place. Hadn't thought about using pre-bought naans for experimenting with fillings for, that's a good idea. I've used the Lidl ones and they are fine.

Now that sounds like a good idea Jamie.  Would love to find out the exact recipe for the filling as peshwari naan is my favourite.  Maybe ifindforu or Abdul could enlighten us as to how to make it ??? :D

Hi Jamieb.  Here's what Abdul recommended.  Let us know how you got on.  I'm going to give this a go in the week :D

EDIT - Recipe amended since Abdul has clarified that it is condensed milk that is used not evaporated milk (carnation)

Hi Curryhell,

This is how I make the filling for Peshwari Naans. Just bare in mind that it is a recipe for just ONE naan.



Ingredients for the peshwari mixture

1 and half tsp of coconut powder
just under a tsp of almond powder
2 sultanas cut into small slices
Half tsp of Sugar
Condensed milk  2 to 3 tsp

Method

Mix thoroughly and make sure the mixture should not be runny.
Then put the mixture into the naan dough.
Then make the naan using the normal procedure.

The filling is definitely spot on from my experience :P, unlike my naan breads :'(.  More work to do in that area i think >:(

I know all about mares and naan, separated and with the two combined ;).  Don't thank me, the recipe is totally down to Abdul and his generosity.  Glad the Mrs is happy.

Many thanks to Abdul for supplying the recipe and to curryhell for bringing it to my attention with the mention that condensed milk should be used. I think this is another recipe I can 'tick off' as being spot on what I was looking for in terms of a good BIR filling for Peshwari Naan. I tried it yesterday and it's very good indeed.
