Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 300 grams All-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Baking soda
- 2 tablespoons Sugar
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 150 grams Unsweetened non-dairy yogurt
- 100 ml Warm water
- 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil
- 2 tablespoons Desiccated coconut
- 2 tablespoons Golden raisins
- 2 tablespoons Chopped almonds
- 2 tablespoons Chopped cashews
- 2 tablespoons Chopped pistachios
- 1 tablespoon Chopped fresh mint
Instructions
In a large bowl, mix together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, sugar, and salt.
Add the non-dairy yogurt and vegetable oil to the dry ingredients and mix well.
Gradually add the warm water, mixing until a rough dough forms.
Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface for about 10 minutes until it's smooth and elastic.
Place the dough back into the bowl, cover with a damp cloth, and let it rest in a warm place for 1 hour, or until it doubles in size.
In a small bowl, mix the desiccated coconut, golden raisins, chopped almonds, cashews, pistachios, and fresh mint until well combined. This is your Peshwari filling.
Divide the risen dough into four equal portions.
Roll out each dough piece into a circle about 6 inches in diameter on a floured surface.
Spread 1-2 tablespoons of the Peshwari filling onto each round, then fold the edges over the filling and pinch to seal.
Gently roll each filled dough ball into an oval shape about 8 inches long, being careful not to tear the dough.
Preheat a non-stick pan over medium-high heat.
Cook each naan in the pan for about 2-3 minutes on each side, until golden brown and slightly puffed.
Serve warm, brushed with a little oil if desired, alongside your favorite curry or as a snack.
