Tava Naan with Tomato Paneer September 25, 2010

Filed under: Paneer,Veg — cornstarch @ 8:53 am

Ingredients
Maida (all-purpose flour) – 2 cups
Baking Soda – 3/4 tsp
Baking Powder – 3/4 tsp
Salt to taste
Lukewarm Milk – 1/2 cup
Curd – 1/2 cup
Sugar – 1 tsp
Butter as required

Method
Sieve the flour, soda and baking powder together thrice to ensure even mixing. Transfer to the mixing bowl and make a well in the center.
Pour the sugar, salt and curd in it and mix after a minute softly.  Add the milk little by little to make a soft dough.

Keep aside for 3-4 hours. Make medium-sized balls of it and dust it with the flour. Roll gently in the shape of a naan and apply water on one side of it. Stick this side to the tava and cook covered for 1-2 minutes. Bubbles will start coming up on the naan.

Slowly remove the naan with a spatula and turn the bubble side on the direct flame and expose the naan directly to the flame and cook on the other side as well. When brown spots start appearing and the naan is cooked, remove and apply butter as required to it.

Serve hot with a gravy of your choice. We had ours with Tomato Paneer
