Hara Naan
This is a yeast-free naan recipe that comes together pretty much instantly. Sneak in some pureed spinach or other greens for some green goodness. Perfect accompaniment to curries and daal.
Ingredients
- 1 ¾ cups all-purpose flour
- ¾ tsp baking powder
- 2 tsp sugar
- 1 tsp salt
- 2 tsp oil
- 1/3 cup plant-based milk I used soy milk
- 3 tbsp plant-based yogurt
- 2 cloves garlic crushed
- 2 cup spinach leaves puree
- EVOO or other oilfor brushing
- Black sesame seeds for seasoning
Instructions
- Combine all dry ingredients in a bowl.
- Whisk together oil, milk, yogurt, garlic and spinach.
- Create a well in the middle of the flour, and add the wet ingredients. Mix everything together with a spoon.
- Transfer the mix on a board and knead until very smooth and elastic. Add more flour as necessary.
- Cover and let the dough rest for 15minutes.
- Divide into 8-10 equal pieces.
- Heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Pre-heat grill.
- Roll one piece of dough into a 5-6 inch flat . If the skillet isn’t non-stick, brush some oil before each piece. Cook the naan for about 90 seconds or until blackish brown on each side. Transfer the naan under the grill with the uncooked side up. Cook until blackish bubbles form.
- Brushoil and sprinkle black sesame seeds or other seasonings, to taste.
Notes
1. Frozen spinach can be substituted for fresh one.
2. Yeast makes the naans a bit softer whereas with the baking powder method it’s less waiting time with resting the dough.
3. Use vegan butter instead of EVOO for a more buttery taste.
