Do Naan really need introduction?? If you know Indian cuisine then you know what Naan is. Since Naan is traditionally
cooked in the Tandoor (a clay oven) with extremely high temperature, most people think it’s difficult to prepare the
same soft results at home without a tandoor/clay oven, but there are also a multitude of other option, which is almost
close to the Naan prepared the traditional way.
You can use a tandoori oven or broil on a pizza stone in your oven, or you can use cast iron skillet/tawa. It comes out
perfect and fluffy with a smoky flavor..I have posted Butter Naan earlier, today's I am sharing recipe for Garlic Naan
which is made in oven. Naan can be eaten plain, but is typically brushed with butter or ghee/clarified butter. It pairs

Method of Preparation for forming a dough for naan , By using hands or By Food Processor :
1. Place the sugar, yeast, along with warm water in a small bowl and let sit 5-10 minutes or until the mixture begins to
froth and rise. This indicates the yeast is active. Set aside.
2. Sift flour,baking soda and salt into a bowl, add yeast mixture,milk,yogurt, 2tbsp of oil/ghee, half of the crushed or
minced garlic and mix well together by using hands ,turn the dough out onto a floured surface and knead for 8-10
minutes until shiny and elastic. (Note : If necessary use some warm water)
(OR)
3. If your using food processor; put the flour,salt, and baking powder in a food processor fitted with a dough blade and
blend.
4. Pour the yeast mixture, half of the minced or crushed garlic, milk, yogurt, 2 tbsp of oil, into the bowl and knead for
2-3 minutes in a processor or until the dough forms a ball that is smooth and elastic. If you think you need add to water,
then add a couple of tablespoons of warm water, just enough to make a soft but not a sticky dough. If it’s sticky, add
more flour. (Note : Usually I make the dough a little 'wetter' than actually required because you are going to add more
flour whilst kneading which will stiffen it up slightly.)
4. Transfer the dough in a lightly-oiled large bowl. Turn the dough around to coat oil on all sides and then cover the
bowl with plastic wrap and let it sit in a warm, draft-free place for 2 to 4 hrs (I put it in the oven).
5. Punch down the dough; knead again for about 4 minutes, divide the dough into 8 parts and slice it in triangles. Cover
with damp kitchen towel and let rise until doubled in size for about 40 to 60 minutes.
Cooking Method :
Apparently there are many ways to cook your naan. You can heat a tandoor to 450°F, or use your oven broiler (which
is what I did), or grill on medium-high heat, or you can use a hot cast iron skillet/tawa.
1. Take one divided portion, dust it with flour and roll it out to a tear drop shape; about 6-8 inches long, in a floured
surface. Stretch the dough outward as you roll from the center.
2. Sprinkle the top of the naan with remaining crushed or minced garlic and chopped coriander leaves; gently press
down with the rolling pin to make them stick to the dough.
Oven Method like I did : (This method comes closest to the Naan made in the tandoor.)
1.Preheat the oven at 450 degree and set the oven settings to broil and preheat pizza stone at very high temperature. If

you do not have a pizza stone then pre heat your baking tray in the oven.
2. Brush the naan with little water and lay 2 pieces of rolled dough on the pizza stone with the wet side down.
3. Cook until the bottoms are browned and the tops blister, puff and are lightly toasted, 2 to 4 minutes.
4. Remove from oven, brush tops with ghee or melted butter, and place in a cloth-lined basket for serving. Repeat with
remaining dough.
Tawa Naan / Skillet Method :
1. Heat a thick bottom skillet, preferably a cast iron skillet/tawa, or any kind of heavy bottom pan. The skillet should
be really hot.
2. Melt a little butter on a hot skillet. Brush the naan with water and place it water-side down and cover the skillet/pan
with a lid. Reduce the heat little bit and allow it to cook for couple of minutes. Large bubbles should begin to puff up
within a minute.
3. Remove the skillet from the stove; using tongs, place the other side of the naan over direct flame of the gas burner
(bubble side facing the fire) for another minute or so. If you do not have gas stove, and is cooking on electric, you can
cook the naan on the skillet without fire roasting it.
4. Once the bubbles form on the surface, increase the heat to high and flip it over on the skillet/pan; slowly press down
on the naan with the spatula for a minute.
5. Remove to a basket or plate and brush with melted butter or ghee and repeat with remaining dough.
Grill Method :
1. Brush and oil the grate. Lightly brush top of dough with butter and place butter-side down on grate a few at a time
(Note : Do not crowd the grate).
2. Grill until the bottoms are browned and the tops start to puff and blister, 1 to 2 minutes.
3. Lightly brush the tops with a little butter. Invert bread, and grill the other side until lightly browned, 1 to 2 minutes.
Transfer to a cloth-lined basket, brushing tops of each with any remaining butter.
Before serving top some butter and chopped coriander leaves and serve this delicious bread hot, with popular curries
like Butter Chicken, Rogan Josh, Malai Kofta, Panner Butter Masala, Chicken Tikka Masala or Subzi/Curry of your
choice and Enjoy!!

Notes :
Like all bread, good kneading is the key to a good naan bread. At least 10 minutes and more if you can.
The trick to getting a soft and fluffy naan is to make sure that your baking stone & oven is very hot or use a
heavy bottomed skillet which is very hot.
The cooking time is very important; it has to be done well, but overcooking it in the oven, grill or the skillet
will stiffen it making it crusty. Timing setting varies depending upon one oven to other, so adjust
accordingly.
To store the Naans, wrap them in foil and refrigerate them. Reheat in the oven wrapped in foil.
There are a number of optional ingredients you can use for naan like cumin seeds, sesame seed, poppy seed
Nigella seeds /Kalongi, which you can mix into the flour before making the dough or use as toppings
sprinkled on before cooking.
