Naan............

Naan is one of the popular varieties of Indian breads and is available in all the Indian restaurants..I always like to have naan whenever we go out for lunch during our weekends coz we all love to eat the variety foods which we cannot make in our homes,rite??..But now I found its very easy to make in our homes.. Hope u all will try it ....Naan are traditionally cooked in Tandoor or Oven,but can be made easily using a Tawa...I made it using Tawa..It can be served with any chicken varieties or Gobi Manjurian..A typical Naan recipe involves mixing all purpose flour with Yeast and Yoghurt to make the naan soft..But in modern recipes now use Baking powder with the flour. I added egg also,but Veggies can avoid egg..Here is my recipe to make simple,soft and tasty Naan!!!

All purpose flour - 2 cups.
Water - 1 cup warm water.
Yeast - 1 tsp.
Baking powder - 1 tsp.
Yoghurt - 2 tbs.
Oil - 2 tsp.
Egg - 1 ( optional )
Sugar - 1 tsp.
Salt - 1 tsp or as rqd.
And little flour to dip while spreading.

Method :
Dissolve Yeast in warm water and keep it aside for 5-10 mins.Mix the all purpose flour with sugar,salt,yoghurt,baking powder,oil,egg and mix well...Add the water which we already dissolved the yeast and knead it well till it is smooth and stretchy .Keep this dough for atleast 4 hrs.And knead it in between..
  After 4 hrs make small balls with the dough,dip it in the flour and spread in oval shape to make Naan..Heat a Tawa and put the naan and cook it well like Chapathis.. ( if you are using an Oven,Preheat oven at 400 degree F..Place the Naan in greased oven tray and heat it for 2-3 mins.)..When it is done,spread Ghee over the Naan..Serve hot Naan with Chicken Varieties :-)
Say Cheese!!!!
