Hi guys, does any one have a good recipe for just the garlic and coriander topping ? I've tried lurpack butter melted with garlic powder and wasn't too pleased with the results. What would you suggest for the real deal ? Thanks. Using the happy naan recipe which is really good by the way.
-
No BIR would use garlic powder, not when they have heads and heads of fresh garlic to hand. Just grab some cloves of garlic, put them through a crusher and add to butter with fresh chopped coriander and salt.
-
Finely chop a couple of garlic cloves , sprinkle them and some fresh chopped coriander over the rolled out naan and press in. Cook the naan and brush with melted butter ghee or your lurpak ;)
-
Thanks a lot, I had it in my mind garlic powder was used. Crushed or chopped, will try both. Thanks again. Using Abdul's peshwari mix too which is OK. What peshwari mix do others use ?

Davey
Your probably only going to do a couple of Naans, so there
-
I can't speak for 'all' BIR's, Davey, but I can say that if you are using the H4ppy Chris naan recipe for homemade, restaurant-style naans, I would avoid putting anything on top of or inside the naan before cooking.
Any weight on top will prevent the naan rising properly; similarly stuff rolled into the dough won't allow the dough to cook the same and will be a bit flat.
Do it like BIR's do and make the naan then spread some garlic/butter ghee on top. If you like, put it in the oven, briefly. :)

One way of doing it.
Pretty much as Chewy described.

I don't think Davey is using a tandoor, Mick :)

Nice to see you posting again Mick! Don't be a stranger - you've been gone too long! :)
-

Yes, maybe so.
I thought the question related to the topping/filling and how it was applied.
My apologies if I got that wrong. :)
-
You are right, Mick, but he also stated he is using the H4ppy technique, which affects the way things cook, as I'm sure you know :)
-
Good to see you back Mick
Regards
Mick

Thanks again lads. A few different techniques to try. Great video Mick thanks.

CBM and CH all in one day is all a bit too much for me :'( :'(
I love you all :'( :'( :'(
-
So for a small amount, take 3-4 cloves of garlic,1tbs of veg oil and a couple of pinches of
salt and crush this together in a mortar, until you have a creamy emulsion paste.
Smear this on top of your Naan and sprinkle a pinch of fresh coriander and rub it in.
Cook your Naan, then brush on your melted Lurpak or Ghee.
Lovely :P
cheers Chewy
Yep 2nd that, Ive had no issues at all with cooking the naans this way using h4ppys method
-
I have cooked h4ppys naans having rolled finely chopped green finger chillies and garlic into the naan dough without any problems of the naans coming out flat, they come out just as good as without IMO, and no issues of the naans not rising with garlic crushed into the oil first as per chewys method
