What a DISSAPIONTMENT

Sorry I hate lying It is one of those moments when you are glad you have come across this forum
They were a complete success apart from the first one that fell off ( make sure you put enough water on naan so to stick    That's my tip )
They were as light as poppadoms   I know I'm going to far but they were so light
Once I got the hang of it I started to add some toppings . I done mine in a wok now obviously I'm no expert but once inverted I thought it helped spread the heat being concave 
The last two I went to the tandoor the first one a bit crispy too over cooked but I was happy to scrap it off in one piece
The second one was a proper naan which I brushed with butter  my first naan from the tandoor quite emotional
But can I say doing both on the hob and tandoor it made no difference to the taste
I know now I can make naans
I cant believe it no ball jokes how boring
Cheers Michael

I've almost got a tear in my eye imagining you taking your first naan out the tandoor mate.

No pics?

[Micky Tikka]

So hopefully tomorrow
It normally takes me 3 weeks  ;D

How is the flavour of these naans? I've seen some comments they're too sweet, which deterred me from trying, but perhaps I should try the basic technique with an adjusted recipe (less sugar), or do those who've made them recently feel the taste was ok .?

[Garp]

I found them very close to the taste from my local TA. I also didn't add any salt - I don't know if anyone else did.

No salt here either on the second attempt at the dough.  As for the sweetness, I've just tried a bit of the plain one cold and there is a sweetness to them but not unlike that you get in a BIR naan.  I think that sweetness is similar to an individual's liking for salt.  Some use more and some less    Give them a go Chris.  You could half the ingredients using varying amounts of sugar in each.  I'm sure you will be able to tweak it to your taste.  Everything else about them is spot on.  When you look at the recipe it compares closely to Pacman Pete's which jb says has got him closest to restaurant naan.  Let us know how you get on.
