Description
Grilled Naan is a soft, pillowy Indian flatbread with a slight char from the grill. Perfect to accompany any curry or to be enjoyed with dips like hummus or yogurt.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- 1 teaspoon instant yeast
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup warm water
- 1/4 cup plain yogurt
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 1/4 cup milk
- 2 tablespoons melted butter (for brushing)
- Optional: Chopped cilantro or garlic for garnish
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, yeast, and salt.
- Slowly add warm water to the flour mixture, stirring continuously until a dough begins to form.
- Add yogurt, oil, and milk, and continue mixing until the dough is smooth and soft. Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface for about 5-7 minutes.
- Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover it with a damp cloth, and let it rise for 1-1.5 hours or until it doubles in size.
- Once the dough has risen, punch it down and divide it into 6 equal portions. Roll each portion into a ball.
- Preheat your grill or grill pan to medium-high heat.
- On a lightly floured surface, roll out each dough ball into an oval or teardrop shape about 1/4 inch thick.
- Place the rolled-out naan onto the grill. Grill for 2-3 minutes on one side until bubbles form and the underside is golden brown with grill marks.
- Flip the naan and cook for another 1-2 minutes on the other side until golden and cooked through.
- Remove from the grill and immediately brush with melted butter. Garnish with chopped cilantro or minced garlic if desired.
- Serve warm with your favorite curry, dip, or as a side dish.
Notes
- If you don’t have a grill, you can use a cast-iron skillet or non-stick pan over high heat to achieve the same effect.
- For extra flavor, try adding garlic, cheese, or herbs to the dough before rolling it out.
- You can also make this naan in advance and reheat it on the grill or in the oven.
