How do you get the filling/middle inside the naan bread?
« on: January 04, 2013, 01:06 AM »
Hey everyone.

I've been slowly working my way through the recipes on this site for a while now, this is such a wealth of knowledge that I wish there was a site like it for every cuisine!

Here's where I'm currently stuck with recreating the restaurant experience at home: when making a naan (e.g. a peshwari naan) how on earth do you get that delicious mix in the centre?!  >:(

I have tried:
- searching these forums, youtube and the internet in general.
- rolling the naan thin and then folding in half...it always ends up too thick.  I prefer a thin naan.
- making a ball with a well in the middle, adding the mix and then closing the well and rolling into a naan shape...the mix always bursts through the dough though  :'(

Is my dough wrong for the mix to burst through?  (I'm using CA's recipe for the dough).

I'm really pulling my hair out with this one.  I know thin peshwari naans exist, I had one (at a restaurant!) just last week.  It was like the curry god was taunting me by showing me what I cannot do! Haha.

Any help, links or even pictures appreciated.

Tom.

Cheers, not seen that one but have seen a similar one on youtube.  Going to give this a try.   :D

How does everyone else get their stuffing inside their naans?  Or does everyone here have plain naans?
