    Garlic Naan

    Published : Feb 8,2014 | Last Updated On : Feb 8, 2019 by Muktha Gopinath

    Garlic Naan is a leavened Indian bread , topped with minced garlic. Naan is prepared using mixture of whole wheat flour and refined flour. Can also  use 100% whole wheat flour for making Naan. Yeast is either added or curds,salt and sugar is added to dough to ferment ,that is for yeast development . In this recipe I have added Yeast to make Naan. Also im using stove top method to make Naan.  As I love garlic flavour , I'm making garlic Naan . You can totally skip garlic , if you want to make plain Naan.

    One good thing about this naan are its not at all chewy. These naans are soft and tastes delicious when served with any spicy rich curry. Here I have used Whole wheat flour  and Maida/Refined Flour in 50:50 ratio. But you can use 100% whole wheat flour also. In my next post on Naan , I'll share you on how to make Naan without yeast and also with 100 % Whole wheat flour.Here I'm sharing the Naan recipe using stove top method alternatively you can use in Tandoor or Convection Oven also.

    Garlic Naan goes well with both vegetarian and Non vegetarian rich gravies. My personal favourite combinations are Paneer Butter masala , Chana Masala , Dry Peas Masala , Pindi Chole , Shahi Paneer Masala, Dal Makhani, Kolhapuri Egg Masala, Mutton Kheema Masala , Chicken Butter Masala  and Chicken Tikka Masala. Everything tastes so good that, you actually forget whether it’s from restaurant or from your kitchen.
