I took this from PURI Tandoors facebook page and it worked like a treat. The missing ingredient was semolina.. Try it yourself

Your Favourite Naan bread recipe:

In the last 3 years, we must have tried at least 10 different naan bread recipes, and we are here today to give you the best we have tried so far.... There are many ingredients that goes on in making a perfect naan bread, of course you can add or remove some ingredients according to your taste. But for this time, try making it as is so that you know what to change for next time.

Ingredients:
Fine white semolina - 350 gms
White flour - 400 gms
Yeast - 1 1/4 tea spoon
Baking powder - 1 1/4 tea spoon
Egg - 1 (beat the egg)
Salt - 1/2 tea spoon OR according to taste
Olive oil - 3 table spoon

Mix above ingredients in a kneading bowl, add 200 ml water and start kneading. Keep on adding more water and keep kneading until the dough is smooth and pliable. Once done, you may want to cover the dough with a damp cloth. Leave it to rise for at least 2-3 hours in a warm place. In UK, we generally keep the dough in airing cupboard. You don't have to damp the cloth once it's dry.
2-3 hours in warm place should be sufficient for dough to have risen to almost double it's original size. Give it another knead and leave it for another 30 mins or so.. Your dough is now ready. There will be fair amount of elasticity in your dough which is perfect for the next step that we are about to explain.

Make equal balls from the dough to the size of just a little larger than a golf ball. Flatten each with a rolling pin and place it on the cushion (comes free with PURI Tandoors), sprinkle little water on the side facing up and pull it from top to give it a naan bread shape (you know what I mean).

Slap it on the hot tandoor wall and close the lid. In our SS2 model, you can cook up to 6 naan breads in one go. SS1 / MS1 can take up to 4. Open the top lid to check after a minute. Your naan bread is ready when you see that it has risen a bit and seem cooked with a light brown bubbles. Take the naan bread out with naan bread rods and apply butter (according to taste)

That's it. Good luck and come back next week for another mouth watering recipe only to be cooked in PURI Tandoors. And yes, don't forget to like us. We like you :) www.TheTandoorClayOven.co.uk

Guys, I have been using PURI tandoors from the last 5 years now, I bought the 2nd generation SS2 model that didn't have side tables then. Skewers were round and it didn't look stunning as they do now. But anyway, I changed my skewers to square skewers from PURI's. I believe they sell only square skewers now which is good if you are considering buying one.
I make perfect naan bread and seekh kebab comes out succulent n juicy. The only trick is that you must get the oven very hot. Don't be afraid of mixing lumpwood and briquetts. This is what i use:

1 Kgs Instant light charcoal
1 Kgs lumpwood (should be big lumps)
500 gms briquett

and I get it from cold to cooking temp in 30 mins. My naan comes out crisp and chewy. chicken is done within 15 mins.

Be it restaurant tandoor or PURI home tandoor, the principle is same. Get it hot and enjoy.

I recently bought Ranjit Rai recipe book from PURI web site, which I would highly recommend. I will try to take some pics next time and post it here. Enjoy
