Simple naan recipe | naan recipe without yeast | how to make easy naan bread with step wise pictorial and video method is something without which you can not imagine restaurant table during lunch & dinner time. Whatever be your food order, veg or non non veg, lentils or vegetables, curries or side dish, but naan has an inevitable role on the table.

Simple naan recipe | naan recipe without yeast | how to make easy naan bread is something which is least prepared in Indian kitchens, probably due to the complexity involved in making it. If you go by the typical traditional method of making naan, then yes, it is difficult to make. Because traditionally they are baked inside a clay or metallic tandoor oven which is extremely hot nearing 500°C heat produced by red hot charcoal or wood fire. The naan bread is made to stick on the inner wall of the hot tandoor & it gets ready in few minutes.

Having such tandoor at home is not convenient so naan remained confined to restaurants. But who says that you can’t make it at home even with tandoor? Yes, naan can easily be made without tandoor on tawa (flat skillet) over gas stove. How, that you will get to know from the making process, given below.

Furthermore, few people have issues with yeast so they avoid making naans. This recipe is for them because it is made without yeast. Curd is used in this recipe which will work as leavening agent. Actually here lies the basic difference between naan & roti, we make on daily basis. Naan is leavened flatbread mostly made of maida & baked in tandoor whereas roti is made of whole wheat flour and has no leavening agent in it. Naan is fluffed up having air pockets and a glossy finish with chewness stretchability which makes it everyone’s favourite.

If coming to this question that what are those dishes with which naan goes well, we would say that it tastes best only with the vegetables and curries having rich flavours and are made in restaurant style. Paneer butter masala, Dal makhani & khoya matar makhana are the two most favourite companions of naan. When we made these naan at home, they were accompanied by achari paneer which was high in flavours and taste.

So try this easy and simple recipe of naan bread without yeast.

NOTE

* You may use whole wheat flour and all purpose flour in the ratio of 50:50 or make naan completely with whole wheat flour.

* Naan made with whole wheat flour tastes good but lacks the chewness & stretchability which a naan made with maida has.

* You may sprinkle some onion seeds(kalonji) or sesame seeds on one side of the rolled roti after rolling & before cooking it.

* Don’t worry at all if your roti fells down while tawa is turned down. You can cook it by putting directly on gas stove. Take the help of tong in turning the sides of naan for cooking.
