I got these metal plates from a restaurant supply place to make me feel like I’m an Indian restaurant

    Wow, that looks really good! I might need to try making some curried vegetables like that

    Did you make the naan yourself? I want to start making my own!

      I’ve made this recipe before; super inauthentic but it was pretty doable and came out tasting great.

        Thanks for sharing a tested recipe! I’ll have to give it a try, looks very reason to make. Ha don’t worry about authentic, I doubt the mass produced naan I get at the grocery store is any where close to it either.

          I don’t really cook with recipes to be honest I do it all by eye. I always try to remember that this stuff was created by people who didn’t even have kitchens so it is less precise that we are used to as post-industrial people. General 2:1 flour to water works great for most flat breads.

          I baked it at like 450 in the oven til they puffed up like just under 10 minutes. I forgot that part

            Thanks so much for the information. I eat naan multiple times a week that I buy from the grocery store and hearing how easy it can be replicated at home makes me wish I started sooner.

            I’ll be out of town this weekend but once I return I’ll give it a try and let you know the result :-)

      Yes, I used 1 cups ww flour with .5 (plus a little) cup water, spoon of sugar and spoon of instant yeast. I actually do all the kneading in my blender (it has a dough hook attachment) then let it sit out a while to rise, I punched it down. I roughly rolled it out and baked it in the oven. You have to add a little extra flour when rolling

      I usually make chapati with no yeast on the griddle/tawa pan with the same rations but I had some extra yeast. I make flat breads twice a week at least.
