Easy Homemade Naan without Yeast

Her's an easy and simple recipe for naan. I saw several recipes that call for yeast, but this just uses curd or yogurt and the result is a really soft and tasty naan. I prefer the homemade one to the frozen naan that we get in stores.

Ingredients:

All Purpose Flour/Maida - 2 Cups
Baking Powder + Baking Soda - 3/4 Tsp each
Salt - to taste
Sugar - 2 tsp
Yogurt - 1/2 Cup
Milk - 1/2 Cup
Oil/Butter - 2 Tbsp

For Toppings:
Sesame Seeds, Crushed Garlic, Cilantro, Melted Butter

Mix all the dry ingredients. Add the wet ingredients and mix well. The mixture will be a bit sticky. Cover and set aside for 3 to 4 hours. Make tennis ball sized balls and roll into triangle or circles.
Top with Sesame Seeds, Garlic on one side. Turn and apply water on the other side and place this side on a pan and press gently. Place on a medium flame on the stove top for a minute. Now turn the pan so that the naan is directly on the flame and move it around so all the parts get the flame.

When it starts to char and there are air pockets, remove the naan. Top with melted butter and Cilantro and serve with a gravy of your choice.

Sunday Brunch - 3

This is another version of my simple Sunday brunch.  As always, you will find Eggs, Potatoes and Bread in the mix. There is something really hearty about these ingredients and also the ease of making it makes this a regular in our home.

I had frozen waffles and I just toasted them up in the Toaster for a sweet and fun element on the plate. I am not a big fan of pancakes but I do love waffles.

Scrambled Eggs:
Eggs - 4
Salt and Black Pepper - To taste
Milk - 2 tbsp
Butter - 1 tbsp

Beat all the ingredients for the scramble. Heat a pan and add some butter to the pan. Add the egg mixture and scramble till done.

Potato Hash:
Red Potatoes - 2
Salt and Paprika or Red Chili Powder - 1 tsp each
Garlic - 2 Cloves Crused
Oil - 1 tbsp
Spring Onion - 1

Cut the potatoes into 1 inch pieces and boil till tender.
In a pan, heat the oil, add the garlic and saute for 10 seconds. Add the potatoes and the salt and red chili. Saute till the potatoes are golden brown at the edges. Top with chopped Spring Onion.

Serve with some Waffles drizzled with Maple Syrup and Toast.
