ingredients to make no yeast garlic naan
Ingredients mentioned below use standard measuring cups and spoons.
For the naan bread
2 cups of flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 plain yoghurt
1 tablespoon of finely minced ginger
2 tablespoons of oil
Water as needed
For the garlic butter
4 tablespoons of butter
1 teaspoon of minced garlic
1/4 cup of coriander chopped fine
How to make no-yeast garlic naan
Make the garlic butter first.
This will allow the minced garlic to infuse the butter oil.
Place butter(4 tbsp)in a microwavable bowl and heat for 10-20 seconds until melted.
Add the minced garlic(1 tbsp), and coriander(1/4 cup) and stir.
Cover and set aside.
How to make the quick naan dough
Sift flour, baking powder(1 tsp), baking soda(1/4 tsp)and salt(1/4 tsp) into a large bowl.
Add yoghurt (1/4 cup), oil(2 tablespoons) and minced ginger(1 tablespoon) to the flour mix.
Gently start mixing the dough.
Add water as needed(in 1/4 cups, you might have to add 2-3 cups)to reach the correct consistency to form a soft dough.
When you’ve formed a roughly smooth dough, pour a tablespoon of oil.
Transfer to an oiled bowl.
Cover with a damp cloth and keep the garlic naan dough in a warm place. an area where the sun hits or a warm oven would do as well.
Let the naan dough rest for 2 hours.
After 2 hours, you will notice a slight rise in the dough which indicates that it is ready.
Place the dough on a flat surface and separate it into required portions, I divided the garlic naan dough into 9.
Then gently roll them out into smaller balls. use a light hand to roll out the balls.
Mine has a few pieces of coriander in it and I used the same chopping board to cut the coriander.
Let dough balls rest for 10 minutes.
How to stretch and make the quick garlic naan.
Place a dough ball on a flat surface.
Press down with your palm.
Use your fingers to press down and flatten the dough into a rough oval shape.
Dab a little oil and stretch the dough a little more from the edges.
Once you have your first garlic naan ready, Place your Tawa or flat frying pan over low medium fire and let it heat.
Brush a little oil on the naan.
And immediately transfer onto the heated Tawa.
Cook until small bubbles appear followed by some crispy brown patches on the garlic naan.
This would take about 3-4 minutes on each side, once there is a little browning flip the naan over.
Cook both sides and brush oil on the naan when needed.
As the naan cooks over the Tawa, use your spatula to press down or even fold them to keep them soft and pliable.
Repeat the process until you’ve cooked and made all the garlic naans.
Brushing garlic butter and charring the quick naans.
The final process of making the no-yeast garlic naan is adding a little authentic flavour and look by slightly charring it over an open flame.
Simply brush the garlic-coriander butter on the cooked naan.
Fire up your stove and maintain low-medium heat.
Use a tong to hold up the naan over the open flame and rotate until a little charring occurs in the form of dark spots.
Avoid holding the garlic naan over a long period as you can easily burn it.
You can also do this by placing the naan over a very low fire to char the garlic naan, not more than 10 seconds on each side.
Serve the no-yeast garlic naan with your favourite Indian curries.
