Hi Stephen. I was just wondering if the butter in this recipe is salted or unsalted please?

A very good question but, as written, surely most people would assume the 'default' is normal salted butter. You assume for most people George?

I'm surprised that Mr Lindsay why are you referring to me as Mr as opposed to my forename - is there some sarcasm or condemnation implied perhaps? got it so wrong I didn't get it wrong its what I use!i]

and I can't help wonder what else is wrong with the recipe. Yet again George your faulty logic extends an already spurious argument, you really do excel in generalisations 

And then there's a few 'options'. What's wrong with options I see them in recipes all the time?

Either they are used or not well yes George that's the idea of options you use them or you don't - so it's another very unhelpful aspect of the recipe. Perhaps he sought to start again, taking far more care. start what again? I have made this recipe many times and it tastes great

Tell me George have you even bothered to make this recipe? I have noticed that others have and they seem to like it.

Is that because you use only unsalted butter at home, Stephen, or is it because in your experience unsalted butter works better in this particular recipe ?

** Phil.

I do use unsalted butter at home Phil, but the recipe already has salt in it so it doesn't need it int he butter also.

Westminster doesn't hand over money to Scotland George, we pay our taxes like everyone else and it goes into the pot, after all we are supposed to be a "family of nations".

I am thinking of buying a brick pizza oven to put in my garden and I just wondered does anyone use a pizza oven to cook their naan breads, do you think this would work ok or not
cheers LB
I don't have a Tandoor or Pizza Oven LB but the conventional wisdom on this site is that they both reach temperatures high enough to cook naans effectively. Whereas your domestic oven will reach 240/250 degrees C at most I believe that these devices will reach 400/500 degrees, cooking the bread quickly so that you have a nice chargrilled taste to the outside whilst retaining a soft centre.

Ian J welcome to the forum, there's lots of curry making talent amongst the membership. It has indeed been quiet of late but I think that's because we've reached a bit of a critical mass in terms of nailing many curry house favourites, so we are now going forward in smaller increments these days.
