I always keep some extra Naan/Kulcha in my pantry as they go so great with all the Indian curries. But because of this lock-down, all my supplies are out. So I thought of making this super - easy naan with garlic & mint flavors. Who doesn’t like Garlic Naan? When topped with some chopped Mint Leaves, it gives a nice distinctive flavor. I have a garden full of home-grown Mint. So I add mint to almost everything. It gives a refreshing taste to the dishes. Unlike most of the bread, this is a no-yeast bread recipe. Usually, Yeast is added in bread to raise/grow the dough. But for making this naan I have added yogurt in place of yeast along with baking soda & baking powder. This will help to raise the dough. Yeast is unavailable in almost all the stores these days. So I thought of making some easy bread recipes that don’t require yeast. I have been making this bread for ages. It goes perfectly with Delhi-Style Chole/ Chickpeas Curry or Matar Chaat.
FLOUR: I have added All-Purpose Flour when making Naan. Or you can also add whole wheat flour for making Whole Wheat Naan. Or if looking for a Gluten-Free option, you can also add Gluten-Free Flour Mix. YOGURT: You can add any Yogurt: Plain or Greek Yogurt, etc. Yogurt, when added, will help in raising the dough. BAKING SODA & BAKING POWDER: Baking Soda & Baking Powder when added with Yogurt will make the Naan soft. OIL/BUTTER: You can add a little bit of oil/butter when making the dough and also when grilling on the pan. FLAVORING: I have added Garlic & Mint for the flavoring. You can make simple Garlic Naan, or plain regular Naan, or Onion Naan, etc as per your taste. Just add the flavoring on top of the naan before grilling.
HOW TO MAKE MINT & GARLIC NAAN
Storing Mint & Garlic Naan is also super easy. You can store it in the refrigerator for 3-5 days. If you want to keep the naans for a longer period, you can store them in the freezer for 2-3 weeks. When you want to eat these stored naans, just take them out from the refrigerator and grill them on the hot pan/skillet. Or you can also air-fry for 2 minutes. Even after storing in the refrigerator or in the freezer, naan will still taste the same.
