Please CA, do post the recipe.

I'm absolute pants at making naans, so any help would be gratefully received.

Please let me know if you wish me to post my modified recipe and method.

Just adding my vote for revealing your upgraded recipe!

Cory Ander,

Thanks for this recipe.

Tried today and naan turned out really good. Made four for later, 4 to freeze just to see how they go and 9 doughballs which I am also going to freeze.

Thanks again. ;D

Skronk you've drawn my attention to this and got me at it now...
Where is this modified recipe hiding, is it the first one that was modified by doing it under the grill, oven and microwave etc?

Hi Tommy,

I made the original recipe as, like you I could not find a modified recipe. Perhaps it has not yet been posted.

To be fair I made my naans in a large frying pan, turning to cook other side, so they did not rise wonderfully well but were very soft and tasty.....I might add a touch more salt. Do try them. I done most of the work in Kenwood Chef with dough hook leaving me to knead the dough at the end.

Tasty

I tried this recipe last night with some Adana kebabs. I have never reall ybeen a fan on "non yeast" typ breads, and once again, they turned out disappointing. Skronk, yours looks fantastic next to mine mate.

I cooked the base on  stinking hot tawa, then turned over onto the open grill of the BBQ, but they didn't puff up, and indeed, became a bit brittle, so I cooked the rest on just the tawa. they didn't puff up, but they were soft and supple.

BUT....and it's a big but.... they tasted superb. All the family agreed it's a very nice bread...maybe it's the kalonji, which I've never used before.

I'll look froward to trying these out on a tandoor.

Thanks for another top recipe CA!

Hi Mick,

To be honest mine did not rise greatly but the flavour was superb. They were also quite soft.

I also cut down on the brushed oil/ghee resulting in a dryish top to the naans.

I would certainly do them again.

Cheers
