Were you happy with the texture?

happy and sad - happy that it will be as good as bir once I sort the sweetness out, and sad that I may have jumped the gun thinking a tandoor was an essential purchase in achieving such results...

I've yet to have much success on my induction.

I might be wrong on this but did I not read somewhere that induction hobs don't heat up per se (cold enough to put your hand on when in use), but that its a reaction between the hob and the special induction pans that makes it hot?  If so, I think you're scuppered for the inverting bit if there's no heat rising up from the ring unless they are covered by the pan :'(

next time I'll try the granulated and if that doesn't work will try leaving the sugar out altogether

I got 7 breads out of halving all the ingredients...

Still too cold and rainy to wheel the tandoor out, I thought I'd give them a go anyway  - my tava went rusty so I used a heavy bottomed steel frying pan on my halogen hob.  I think they look pretty much as expected, taste wise I agree they are a bit too sweet for my taste but I didn't use granulated sugar, I only had caster handy - no idea if this would make a significant difference.

Anyway, onto the pics to qualify for my Naan Gang membership  ;)

Using the "Glasgow Base" at the moment, see here for my findings:

I have a Puri Ultima SS1, it's charcoal fired ("restaurant charcoal" is a must, burns much hotter than the supermarket stuff - get it from Amazon).  The Puri also has a gas-bottle option available at extra cost, it's a baffle plate that sits on the bottom, and is for convenience as you don't have to mess about with charcoal and ashes but according to Puri the taste is better with charcoal.

Due to the unpredictable weather I don't use it as much as I should, I bought it for naans, and unfortunately I can't run it inside the garage as both the car and the gas boiler are in there.

Most of the recipe videos are on youtube (http://www.youtube.com/user/wulkyboy) and in print form on the RCR forum.  He's just released an e-book with all the "glasgow" recipes, see my post on here in the eBooks section on here for more info:
