Ok I must have buggered up somewhere... But I tried this recipe and ended up with more like a batter than a dough... I had not even added any milk, just the oil and egg made it too wet. It was unkneadable, as it was too wet.

Any tips? 

I do use large eggs, but didn't think it would make it that wet

Just curious to know...can a standard frying pan be used? Surely a tawa is just a flat frying pan??

Cheers Mike

I get better results from a frying pan for some reason.

I don't know whether you could use a standard frying pan or not, Mike, but a tawa is not "just a flat frying pan" -- it is slightly concave.

Tried this tonight and, to be honest, I wasn't too impressed.

Tried it at different heats and thicknesses of dough but found it a bit biscuit/sconey tasting and breaking up a bit.

My naan bread quest goes on - might try Julian's next or go back and retry the Curry Guy's (probably the closest yet to what I'm looking for)

Unclebuck's recipe should be appearing online shortly, as soon as he and I have finished collaborating over getting it online here ...

Garp - I hear you on the biscuit/sconey reference.

I've tried probably dozens of "self-rising flour" based naan recipes. To me they all have the biscuit-ey characteristic.

The best naans by far have been the ones that forgo the self-rising flour in favour of yeast.

I know it may not be BIR, but these days its gotta be yeast for me.

they look absolutely fantastic UB and the real deal.  I wonder how i would fare doing it with my electic hob.  I suppose there's only one way to find out!! ::)

Remember this is CBM's recipe [hes kindly given me permission to post his recipe] so dont thank me thank CBM, it does work on electric but not as well.
Even though I live where convicts were once deported too...
I don't think you need permission to post anyones recipes here.

PS nice looking naan
Apparently it's hypocrisy but there you go.
