Hi guys, I'm Chetna from Food with Chetna, and I'm here to show you how to make my favourite bread, naan
In 3 different ways
Caramalised garlic which adds a lot of flavour to the dough
Spicy onion mix which goes on top of the naan and then the Peshwari naan
Which is going to be stuffed with Pistachios, almonds, raisins. Just crispy on top and really nice and soft underneath
All these naans work beautifully with all sorts of curries, it's absolutely delicious
Right so were going to get started
And for that we need 300 grams of plain flour, half a teaspoon of baking powder
half a teapsoon of salt, 3 teaspoon of olive oil
Were now going to knead it with some whole milk
150ml and were going to add it slowly
and then just bring it together
This dough is good for 6 naans, so if you have to make more then you can just double up the quantities
So now that the dough is together, were just going to move it to the work surface
And just knead it for a few seconds
So this dough can now rest for up to an hour
and were just going to cover it with a damp tea towel
So it becomes nice and soft, and in the mean time we can get going with our toppings
Get the cloves out, you're going to peel these cloves, these are added to the naan dough which makes it really sweet and packed with flavour and that'l just add
so much depth to the plain naan
Now all we need is a pinch of salt, a pinch of sugar and a drizzle of olive oil
This goes in the oven at 200c for 15/20 minutes, but we'll keep a close eye on it
Already smells so lovely and sweet and smokey
So this is really nicely cooked
And you can see it just squidges out
And it's going to taste absolutely delicious in this naan
Now to roll them out
And we will just divide this into 6 portions
And just going to a get a few of these garlic and squash it into the dough
And just knead it all in and roll it all out
Now the shape totally, absolutely depends on how you want it round, oval, no shape, don't worry it's all good
This one's done, I'm just going to grab a baking tray, sprinkle a tiny bit of flour on top
Place it on here and I'm going to do exactly the same with my 2nd garlic naan
I've got the grill ready on medium heat
And this will go under the grill for a couple of minutes
But don't leave the room at this time because you need to keep a close eye on it
Oh look at these, I'm going to put a tiny bit of butter
And now I'm going to prepare the filling for the peshwari naans
Take just a handful of almonds, raisins
And pistachios, obviously out of the shell
And also a tiny bit of sugar, any light brown sugar
And that's the filling for our naan
I have got a griddle pan for this
Because that's another way you can make your naans
And for that I'm just going to roll one of the portions
And add a little bit of our lovely filling
Roughly fold it in
And then were going to roll it out
Pans really hot now, and this naan can go on top of it
I'm going to flip this over
Oh wow look at that
I'm going to top this with some butter as well
So this is our final naan
Plain naans going to go under the grill again for a couple of minutes on each side and I'm going to prepare the onion mix which is going to be a topping
So, just get an onion, thinly slice it
I'm also going to get 1 chili and just finely chop this as well, and just cook it on low heat
Until they are just beginning to caramelise
The onions are looking really good but it just needs a couple more minutes
Add some salt to taste
And I've also got some Amchur powder, this is dried mango powder, and it just adds a bit of a sour flavour to the onions
So, the onions got the sour from mango
but they've also got this hit
from the green chili's
So it's a fantastic combinations
So the plain naans are ready so I've just topped it with our onion mix
Lovely sweet onions which are going to get the heat from the chili's
And the sourness from the mango powder, delicious, and just to cool it down slightly were going to drizzle a tiny bit of yogurt on top
These are ready to be served now, but what I really want to try is these garlic naans
And I've got this special chutney to go with it which is mint and coriander, freshly made chutney
And if you want to see how to make it, you can find the recipe on my channel - Food with Chetna, link just here
That is really really good, it's so refreshing
So many flavours going on
Caramelised onion, the herbs from the chutney, this is all delicious. But if you want to try a really nice curry to go with these naans then do try the Chicken Tikka Massala, recipe link just here
And you can go crazy with the toppings, you can add and stuff it with anything you like
And top it with different flavours, spices
Do give these a go and if you want to try more Indian recipe's or some cakes and bakes, then find my channel and do subscribe
