Butter Garlic Naan is a leavened, oven-baked flatbread infused with garlic and coriander and brushed with butter giving it an awesome flavor. It tastes best with gravies (both vegetarian and non-vegetarian).
Ingredients
  • Active dry yeast: 1.5 tsp
  • Sugar: 2 tsp
  • Wheat flour: 1 and ½ cup
  • All purpose flour: 1 and ½ cup
  • Warm water: 150 ml
  • Garlic Paste: 2 tsp
  • Lemon juice: 2 tsp
  • Oil: 4 tbsp
  • Garlic: 2 tbsp finely chopped
  • Coriander: 2 tbsp finely chopped
  • Sesame seeds: 1 tbsp
  • Salt: 1.5 tsp
  • Butter: for making Naans
Instructions
  1. Add sugar and yeast to the warm water and let it sit for 10-15 minutes till it becomes frothy.
  2. Add wheat flour, all purpose flour, garlic paste, lemon juice, salt and oil. Mix well and knead to form a smooth dough.
  3. Cover with moist cloth for around 2 hours. The dough will double up. Unfortunately I forgot to take a picture here.
  4. Divide the dough into 7 balls. Cover with moist cloth again and keep aside for 10-15 minutes.
  5. In a plate, mix together the chopped garlic, sesame seeds and chopped coriander.
  6. Take a ball of dough and roll into a disk of 2 inches diameter. Place this disk in the plate with garlic-coriander-sesame seeds and press.
  7. Place this disk with the garlic-coriander-sesame seeds side facing downwards and roll into a disk of 6 inches diameter.
  8. Pre-heat the oven to the highest temperature on the oven. Grease a flat baking tray and place the naan on the tray.
  9. Smear with butter and let cook on both sides for around 2-3 minutes. Repeat with other naans.
Notes
Common mistakes to avoid:
Make sure that you do not use hot water with yeast and sugar as hot water would kill the yeast. Use warm water. Basically if you insert your finger in the water, it should feel hot but not burning hot.I placed the water in the microwave for 15-20 seconds.
