Tandoori Wheat Naan using tawa.

Tandoori Wheat Naan using tawa.

Do you want to prepare naan at home but think you can’t, as you don’t have tandoor at home? Don’t worry it is very easy to prepare naan at home without tandoor using iron tawa. Naan is a Indian bread prepared using all purpose flour which goes very well with all the sabji’s. Now my slight twist to the recipe is naan prepared using wheat flour and all purpose flour which is also called as wheat naan without tandoor.

  7. After an hour take a big lemon sized ball ( bigger than our normal roti ) and roll it to a normal sized roti but little thick. Smear water on side of naan.
  8. Now keep tawa for heating on one side ( iron tawa is preferred as naan will not stick on non stick tawa and it will fall off )
  9. Put the naan on the tawa ( the side of naan where water is smeared should be put facing the tawa )
  10. Let it cook for 3 mins on slow flame and now keep the flame high and reverse the tawa as shown in the photo and allow it cook till it gets black spots on it.
  11. Let it cook and now keep the tawa on the flame and allow the naan to cook on the other side in high flame till its done.
