This recipe gets the thumbs up from me.   :D  A very positive step forward and no Baking Powder anywhere.

Closest I've come to a good naan so far, but I have another pan in the fire today.  ;)  It did want to drop off the tawa at the end of the inverted cook so again I'm wondering about the butter (oil) in the dough mix.

I already have a few little tweaks for this one I'll be trying out.  The written recipe describes a pre-ferment that doesn't feature in the video. Similar to a sourdough, this could boost the flavour.  The video just uses the ingredients from the pre-ferment and the actual bulk ingredients in one process but it did produce a good textured naan with nice flavour.  I mixed the dough 24 hours ago and refrigerated it till bench warming it for an hour before cooking.

Ingredients to do a full batch without the pre-ferment are:

500 g strong bread flour
10 g instant yeast  (3 tsp)
90 ml water
100 ml Buttermilk
150 ml milk
9 g salt (2 tsp)
20 g softened butter
seeds as desired.

Ends up at 68% hydration.
Bread mother or pre-ferment (or whatever else you want to call it) improves the keeping time of bread and enhances the complexity of the flavour profile.  These are 2 things that I feel have been missing from my naan up to this point.  Test is progress now.

Thank you so much for this. I used this recipe today. I

Hi Everyone,

New to this site but not new to curry.

Growing up in a Punjabi household I use to get so confused ordering curry at Indian restaurants. The only Balti I knew was a bucket and vindaloo sounded Chinese. We grew up with one spice level for any lamb/chicken curry.

Only recently did I realise that BIR is a style of cooking in its own right and now it all makes sense.
