Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 cups All-purpose flour
- 2.25 teaspoons Active dry yeast
- 1 tablespoon Sugar
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 cup Warm water
- 0.5 cup Plain yogurt
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 3 Garlic cloves, minced
- 2 Fresh green chili, finely chopped
- 2 tablespoons Butter
- 2 tablespoons Fresh cilantro, chopped
Instructions
In a small bowl, combine the warm water, sugar, and yeast. Let it sit for about 10 minutes until the mixture becomes frothy.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour and salt. Add the yeast mixture, yogurt, and olive oil. Mix well until the dough begins to form.
Transfer the dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead it for about 5-7 minutes until it becomes soft and elastic.
Lightly oil a large bowl and place the dough inside, turning it to coat all sides with the oil. Cover the bowl with a clean kitchen towel and let the dough rise in a warm place for about 1 to 1.5 hours or until it doubles in size.
Once the dough has risen, punch it down lightly to expel the air. Divide the dough into 6 equal portions and roll each portion into a ball.
On a floured surface, roll out each ball into an oval shape about 1/4 inch thick.
In a small bowl, mix the minced garlic and chopped chili together.
Heat a skillet or flat griddle over medium-high heat. Once hot, place a rolled-out piece of dough onto the skillet. Cook for about 1-2 minutes until bubbles start to form on the surface.
Flip the naan and brush the cooked side with a bit of butter and sprinkle with the garlic chili mixture and chopped cilantro.
Cook the second side for another 1-2 minutes or until golden brown with some char spots.
Remove from the skillet and set aside. Repeat with the remaining dough balls.
Serve the chili garlic naan hot with your favorite curry or as an appetizer.
