GARLIC NAAN



Garlic Naan image

Though restaurant naan is usually cooked in the intense heat of the tandoor oven, you can pull off this homemade version using a hot cast iron skillet. When cooked at the proper temperature, the naan will develop blistered bubbles with a lovely golden-black char. Reward yourself for a job well done by sopping it in copious amounts of curry.

Time 3h10m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 9

½ cup warm water
1 teaspoon white sugar
1 (.25 ounce) package active dry yeast
¼ cup butter
2 cloves garlic, minced
¼ cup plain yogurt
2 cups bread flour, or more as needed
1 teaspoon kosher salt
¼ cup chopped cilantro

Steps:

  • Combine water, sugar, and yeast in a bowl. Let stand until yeast softens and forms a creamy foam, about 15 minutes.
  • In the meantime, heat butter in a pan over medium heat until melted and sizzling. Quickly mix in garlic. Remove garlic butter from heat and set aside until ready to use.
  • Add yogurt, bread flour, salt, and 1 tablespoon of the garlic butter to the yeast mixture. Stir with a wooden spoon until a shaggy dough forms. Knead by hand until dough pulls away from the sides of the bowl, adding more water or flour as needed. Turn dough out onto the counter and continue kneading into a smooth ball, 3 to 4 minutes.
  • Place dough in a large bowl. Coat with a few more drizzles of garlic butter. Cover and let rise until doubled in volume, about 2 hours.
  • Punch down dough and turn out onto the counter. Shape into a rough rectangle and cut into 6 pieces. Roll each piece into a ball and lightly dust with flour. Cover with plastic wrap and proof until slightly puffy, 15 to 20 minutes.
  • Roll each piece into an oval about 1/8 inch thick. Sprinkle some cilantro on top and press lightly to adhere.
  • Preheat a cast iron skillet until very, very hot, about 5 minutes. Cook each naan until large bubbles form, 1 to 2 minutes. Flip over, press gently, and cook until bubbles on the bottom are charred, 2 to 3 minutes more.
  • Brush naan with more garlic butter before serving.

So, we came up with this yummy and healthier alternative that amazingly still has no added oil or dairy! Like most naan recipes it is time consuming, but we love Indian food and can't seem to eat it without the naan. Add the garlic to turn the plain naan into garlic naan (our favorite).

COCONUT GARLIC NAAN



Coconut Garlic Naan image

I love the airy, chewy inside and the crisp, salty exterior of this garlic naan recipe. Using ingredients like whole wheat flour and coconut oil creates a healthier (and even tastier) snack. You'll love this nutty bread smeared with garlic confit and sea salt. -Morgan Harrison, Astoria, New York

Provided by Taste of Home

Time 2h5m

Yield 8 servings.

Number Of Ingredients 11

1/4 cup coconut oil
6 garlic cloves, peeled
1 package (1/4 ounce) active dry yeast
1/2 cup warm water (110° to 115°)
3/4 cup whole wheat flour
1/2 cup plain yogurt
2 tablespoons coconut oil, divided
1 teaspoon sugar
1 teaspoon salt
1-1/4 to 1-1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon canola oil

Steps:

  • For garlic confit, preheat oven to 250°. Place coconut oil and garlic in a small ovenproof bowl. Cover and bake until garlic is soft and golden, about 2 hours. Cool completely. For naan, in a small bowl, dissolve yeast in warm water. In a large bowl, combine whole wheat flour, yogurt, 1 tablespoon coconut oil, sugar, salt, yeast mixture and 1/2 cup flour; beat on medium speed until smooth. Stir in enough remaining flour to form a soft dough (dough will be sticky). Turn dough onto a floured surface; knead until smooth and elastic, 6-8 minutes. Place in a greased bowl, turning once to grease the top. Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 1 hour. Punch down dough. Turn onto a lightly floured surface; divide into 8 pieces. Roll each piece into a 1/4-in.-thick oval. In a large skillet, heat canola oil and remaining 1 tablespoon coconut oil over medium-high heat. Working in batches, cook naan until golden brown, 1-2 minutes. Turn; cook until golden brown, 1-2 minutes longer. Repeat with remaining dough. Serve with garlic confit.

Provided by Merle O'Neal

Categories     Dinner

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 28

2 cups white rice, rinsed
4 cups water
1 tablespoon coconut oil, melted
salt, to taste
¼ cup vegetable oil, divided
2 small yellow onions, diced
2 cups idaho potato, cubed
1 tablespoon tomato paste
2 tablespoons fresh ginger, minced
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 ½ teaspoons garam masala
2 tablespoons curry powder
1 head cauliflower, cut into small florets
15 oz diced tomato, 1 can
15 oz chickpeas, 1 can, drained
1 ¼ cups water
salt, to taste
¾ cup coconut milk
1 ¼ cups frozen peas
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon sugar
2 tablespoons ghee, melted, divided, plus more as needed
4 tablespoons whole-fat yogurt
2 tablespoons skim milk
6 tablespoons water
1 clove garlic, minced

Steps:

  • In a medium pot, combine the rice, water, coconut oil, and salt. Bring to a boil, then cover and simmer over low heat for 15-20 minutes, until the water is absorbed. Once finished cooking, remove the rice from the heat and fluff.
  • Heat 3 tablespoons of vegetable oil in a large Dutch oven over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add the onions and potatoes and cook, stirring occasionally, until the onions are caramelized and potatoes are golden brown around the edges, about 10 minutes.
  • Reduce the heat to medium. Add the remaining tablespoon of oil, the tomato paste, ginger, and garlic. Cook, stirring constantly, until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add the garam masala and curry powder and cook, stirring constantly, about 1 minute longer.
  • Add cauliflower and cook, stirring constantly, until the spices coat the florets, about 2 minutes longer.
  • Add the tomatoes, chickpeas, water, and salt and stir to combine. Increase the heat to medium-high and bring the mixture to a boil. Reduce the heat to medium. Simmer, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are tender, 10-15 minutes.
  • Stir in the coconut milk and frozen peas. Cook until heated through, about 2 minutes longer. Remove from the heat.
  • Meanwhile, in a large bowl, stir together the flour, salt, baking powder, and sugar. Create a well in the middle of the dry ingredients and pour in 1 tablespoon of melted ghee, the yogurt, skim milk, and a bit of the water. Mix until combined, adding more water as needed until the dough comes together.
  • Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface and knead until no longer sticky, then shape into a ball and divide into quarters. Roll out the dough portions to ¼ inch (6 mm) thick.
  • In a small bowl, combine the remaining tablespoon of melted ghee with the garlic.
  • Heat a bit of ghee in a medium nonstick pan over medium-high heat. Add a dough round and brush with the ghee and garlic mixture. Cook for 3-4 minutes, until the dough bubbles up and forms a nice brown crust, then flip and cook on the other side. Repeat with the remaining dough.
  • Serve the curry over the rice with the naan on the side.
  • Enjoy!
