TANDOORI NAAN / TANDOORI ATTA NAAN / WHOLE WHEAT FLOUR NAAN

Tandoori naan is one of the favorite and famous Indian bread which is mostly cherished with butter paneer, Dal makhani, shahi paneer, paneer labadar or butter chicken...the list is endless. 

On popular demand of kids tried this naan recipe both on tawa and cooker.

Original and authentic naan is made with maida but to make it more healthy for kids I made this with 100% whole wheat flour.

I used to make simple tandoori roti which is already uploaded in my blog, but kids wanted restaurant style naan so tried my hands on it and it was a big hit....needless to say picture is saying it all.

I have uploaded recipe of stuffed tandoori naan kulcha which is super easy and a great breakfast recipe.

You can make naan both on tawa and cooker. Cooker naan is more crunchy than tawa one. Tawa naan is very soft and melt in mouth but if you want little crunchy go for cooker naan, I have uploaded picture of both cooker and tawa naan.

MAKE SURE NOT TO USE NON-STICK TAWA AND NON-STICK COOKER.

Enjoy and impress your kids.


INGREDIENTS
2 cups atta (whole wheat flour)
1/2 TSP salt

1/2 TSP baking powder
2 TSP sugar
2 tbsp oil
Milk for kneading dough
2 tbsp kalonji (onion seeds)
1/2 cup butter (melted)
Chopped fresh coriander leaves

METHOD

Cover the dough and let it rest for 15-20 minutes.

After 15 minutes again knead the dough, this time you will get smooth and soft dough.

Take golf ball sized dough and roll it into oval or round shape.

Put melted butter on it, sprinkle kalonji and coriander leaves. Roll rolling pin over it so that it get stick.

Heat tawa or cooker. The cooker should be very hot.

Take naan in your palm. Wet the other side with water so that it can stick to cooker. Put it inside the cooker and turn cooker upside down and increase the flame to high.

Cook this for 2-3 minutes or till it's brown.

With the help of tong remove naan, cook the other side on direct flame as shown in pic below.
