Naan

Naans are cooked in tandoors or clay ovens. I don't own either, so I cooked my naans on a tawa and grilled a few of them.

Grilled Naan

Ingredients:
APF/Maida - 3 cups + extra flour.
Yeast - 1 tsp.
Sugar - 1 tsp.
Salt - 1 tsp.
Warm milk - 1/2 cup
Warm water - 3/4 cup
Yogurt - 2 tbsp.
Oil

Method:
Dissolve yeast in warm water and add milk and sugar. Keep aside until it becomes frothy.
Add salt to the flour and mix well. Add yogurt, 2 tsp. of oil and yeast water amd mix well.
At this stage, the dough becomes sticky, so add little flour and knead it into a pliable dough.
Pour a little oil on the top of the dough and cover with cling wrap or a kitchen towel. Keep it in a warm place till the dough becomes double the size.
Punch the dough slowly and divide it into equal-sized balls.
Dust the rolling surface with a little flour and flatten the balls thicker than chapathi in oval or round shape.
Cook the naan on a tawa on both sides. Sprinkle and apply oil on the top of naan and cook.
Serve hot with any of your fav side dish. Don't serve cold.
