Tawa Naan




Naanbread is the most sought-after main that you order whenever we dine out.This naan recipe is so simple and can be made from the basic ingredients in your kitchen. They are super soft, fluffy and bursting with flavour.

Ingredients

  • 1.5 cups all purpose flour (maida)
  • 1.5 cups whole wheat flour
  • 2 teaspoon active dry yeast
  • 3/4cup yoghurt
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1teaspoon salt
  • 1tablespoon sugar
  • 3tablespoon refined oil
  • 1tablespoon butter
  • 1teaspoon garlic crushed(optional)
  • Sesame seeds for garnish
Add 1 tablespoon sugar, 2 teaspoon yeast to lukewarm milk. Mix well and let this sit for 5 to 10 minutes until it's frothy. Once the yeast is proofed ,add this to the flour mixture along with oil, yoghurt and knead well till a soft dough is formed. Cover it with a damp cloth and let it rest for 1 hour. After 1 hour the dough will double in size and it's ready to be rolled. Divide the dough to small lemon sized balls and roll into small flatbreads. Around 15 naans can be made from this recipe. Heat the tawa and cook the naan evenly on both sides. The naans will puff up while cooking. Brush hotnaans with garlic butter and garnish with sesame seeds. Serve hot with any curry of your choice.

A refreshing and natural fruit cordial ideal for hot weather. Orange gives a splash of colour and flavour to this old fashioned drink.

In a pan add 3cups sugar and 1.5 cups water. Bring this to boil and switch off the flame. Let this cool to room temperature. Add the juices to the sugar syrup and mix well. The amount of ginger juice in this recipe can be adjusted according to your taste preference.I recommend 3 tablespoons for a strong flavour and 1 to 2 for a mild flavour. Transfer this to a glass bottle. Since no preservatives are added in this, it is ideal to keep this in refrigerator. Serve chilled!
