Naan

Naan

Ingredients:


    450g self raising flour
    1 teaspoon salt
    1 teaspoon baking powder
    250ml warm milk
    2 teaspoons sugar
    4-5 tablespoons melted butter
    2 tablespoons sesame seeds

Method:

    Sift the flour, salt, sugar and baking powder in a bowl, then add 4 tablespoons of the melted butter and rub into the flour mixture with your hands.
    Then gently add the milk and mix so it forms soft dough.
    Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface and knead until smooth.
    Place in a bowl, put aside for 25 minutes.
    Divide the mixture into 8 portions; flatten each one so it looks like a thick cake. Cover with a cloth and put aside for 10 minutes.
    Roll each of the portions into a disc shape around 8 inches in diameter. Brush the tops of the bread with the remaining butter and sprinkle over the sesame seeds.
    Place the naan on a lightly oiled grill rack and cook under a preheated medium grill for 1-2 minutes each side or until lightly browned.
    Serve these naan warm at the side of a delicious curry. Written By : Usman Awan
