Butter Naan is a favorite with me and my family. So much so that everytime we go out to a restaurant, butter naan surely figures in our order. The curries or other dishes may vary however, butter naan and most times the butter chicken remains a constant phenomenon. Seeing the delicious butter naan on "Receipeswap" got me really tempted and just couldn't resist it any longer. With a simple and easily available set of ingredient list and procedure this is one that I had to try. It came out very well and both my husband and daughter were all praise. Thanks n33ma.
I did make a few changes to the recipe to suit my palette and creative instincts too. Must admit that every time I find a recipe I feel an urge to tweak it a bit to satisfy myself. I am sure almost all of you would agree with me on this one. I did add some sugar to my naan dough as I like that slight sweet taste. A nice chicken curry or for the vegetarians a great paneer dish and your day would be made. I tried making this naan in my gas tanddor, however, found it tastier and also easier to make on the regular tawa/skillet (chapati tawa). A little preparation of making the dough in advance is all that is needed(giving the dough time to rise). I made my Naans a little small as it seemed easier to handle:)
Ingredients
2 1/2 cups all purpose flour(maida)(add in only 2 cups initially if you find the dough a little sticky you could add the remaining flour to make it just perfect)
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 tsp sugar
Oil -1 tsp
Butter -2 tbsp
1 cup plain low-fat yogurt
Note: Instead of yogurt you could even use the water remaining after you prepare paneer (whey)
Method:
1- Take a bowl, add in the flour (2 cups initially), salt, baking powder and the sugar. Mix well.
2- Add in the yogurt or whey and knead into a pliable dough. Add the leftover flour to make it perfect if you feel that your dough is too sticky.
3- Smear 1 tsp of cooking oil over the prepared dough and keep aside covered with a damp cloth.
4- Let the dough remain for an hour or two till it rises. Roll out into triangular shaped naans of approximately 1/2 inch thickness. Cook the naan in your oven, tandoor or the tawa(skillet) till it is done on both sides. Put a blob of butter on the Naan(Indian bread) just before serving. The Naan is best served hot.
Accompaniment: Paneer Makhani/Tandoori chicken/ Butter Chicken, any other spicy Indian vegetarian or non-vegetarian curries
