Topic: H4ppy-chris new naan recipe

[haldi]

I made these naans today

The recipe posted on Youtube is this:-

Milk 200g
water 330g
Sugar 100g
Egg 50g
Baking powder 8g
Onion seeds 2g
S/R Flour 1kg

I thought these were very good but extra sweet
almost heading to a peshwari sugar content
I didn't feel it needed any extra salt though

Despite it's simplicity, it still needs a little practice
I found the naan needs a firm push onto the tava to make it stick
A couple of mine dropped off despite wetting the naans, and the tava being pretty hot

I also found an improved result holding the tava much higher over the gas ring, when cooking the "up" side
But I suppose this is just adjusting for whatever cooker you are using
I wonder what would happen using an electric cooker?

I haven't made better naans, using my tandoor
These are really tasty,well worth making
Thanks Chris

I used Asda strong white bread flour (just for the record)

You do need a picture haldi to receive your certificate

My dough was frozen at the balls stage and individually wrapped in clingfilm
So defrosted  then cooked in the usual way and were fine
On tonights verdict I would not have known any difference from the fresh

IM afraid that won't get you into the naan gang SS 

I never really was much of a gang type anyway. Although I did have a yearning to be one of the Double Deckers!

Michael - nice to know they turned out ok after freezing. I froze mine in a big dollop as opposed to balled, but I'm sure it will be fine.

SS - come on, you know you want to. What about the Banana Splits?

You're such a tease, CH

Balls to the pair of you, light, airy fluffy floured ones   ;D
Anyway, i apologise in advance for not cooking on the portable stove as i couldn't find the gas canister  .  I really must get a couple in.  Will do wonders for the looks of my naans.
Anyway, the dough was a bit stickier after it defrosted which isn't unusual so i floured it again.  Still light and airy though 
Garlic and coriander up first as i didn't want to have a disaster and then have to do the back up naan  ;D

G & C added


Off the tawa



And a close up



Just as airy and bubbly as before and tasted good, although i didn't brush my taster with butter ghee    I'll enjoy the rest of it tomorrow - buttered.

Next up the tricky sticky one 

The filling:



Would you believe it, i managed to get the filling in my ball and it stayed there throughout the rolling process and didn't burst through once    I was gobsmacked  ;D



my only real mistake was after adding the water i didn't stipple it with my fingers to ensure i got smaller bubbles when cooking    Didn't have any problems with it rising though -one big bubble and a few little ones  : - on the tawa



done:



And a little drizzle of honey spread over the top.


My first successful peshwari  ;D  I gave myself 7/10 but after adding the honey it went to 8/10
Well happy with the results again.

If there was any degradation because of the dough being frozen, i must say it was barely noticeable.  So freezing ones balls does work.  I must try freezing a cooked naan and see if i concur with Garp.  All in all, quite happy with the results and look forward to a curry with naans
