I jjst made a sample mini nan for myself and WOW !!!!  It tastes like real nan!!!!  No eggy aftertaste!!  I think that is because of the yeast - the last recipe I tried, from the balti videos, used baking powder but no yeast.
The nan came out a bit too done on the bottom - it cooked a bit in the grill oven too so it doesnt need to be cooked so long on the stove top.  The whole thing puffed up.....i think to avoid that, i have to make it different thicknesses - I used a rolling pin and the edges were thicker but the center was the same thickness.
Now, to avoid using flour, use oil!!!  I dropped 1 drop of oil on both sides of the dough ball and then rolled it out using just that!  no flour at all and it worked great!!
The hint of kalonji is great and I wil make some garlic butter to smear on top after it comes out of the oven.
What an amazing technique!!  I highly highly recommend this method using a tawa and the grill oven.
Thanks Mark J!!!

I made the dough for the nan just now.....made it by hand.  The 225 grams wasnt too much so I made the entire batch and put a small amount of kalonji seeds in it - figured it may help mask some egg taste if there is any!  I had to add a bit more dough as it was too sticky with the given measurements.  I will post on the final results tonite.

Mark,
how thin were you rolling out the nans?? It will give me an ida of how thin to roll it out...also, how many nan did the recipe make?  I may have to half it since i dont want to freeze anything as I will be traveling alot in the coming days.

Also has anyone used an indian rollingpin(I presume they are Indian)? Ive seen these sold in Indian shops, they look like thin rounded sticks, id imagine this helps you roll out dough which is slightly stickier without the dough riding up the pin.

I was told the thinner rolling pins are supposed to be used to roll out the rotis very thin....all my relatives use them and it looks like it is a bit more difficult to roll with it....it will take practice.?

How did you cook the nan?  In the stove or in the grill oven?

I have the same exact tawa and it has turned black after 2 uses - perhaps it is supposed to??  Have not had as much success with it as I had hoped.....I am going to pick up a non-stick tawa from India next month - they have some nice ones now.
