Garlic Naan

Hello Lovely People

February month of Love... :) .... Valentine's day comes in Feb... I love this month :)... I know that for loving someone... we should not be day specific... We should show our love every time we feel... as love is a feeling which should be expressed and not to be hidden .... with our loved ones.... on all the days... But Celebrating a day is also not a bad idea... :) :) ... to feel special and to make someone feel  Special ... both sounds good :) :)

Me and My husband too celebrated Valentine day ... We exchanged gifts ... flowers... chocolates with each other....  as a token of love for each other :) :) ...  I feel really blessed to have such a humble... smart... benevolent ... loving ..understanding husband... Touch-wood.. Thank you God for Showering your blessings on me... So in order to show me love... and also to thank him for taking care of me like a baby of him... So  this time I did something special on this Valentine..Firstly I decorated home with candles... flowers...then I ordered one photo card for  him with my feelings written ...and then thought to make something unique ... which my husband can never think..  that I can make... As my back of mind ... I knew that he would be knowing ... I will surely cook something different for Dinner as its a Valentine day.... 

So in order to surprise him ... I thought will  make a dish which he can't think in his mind... And then I came up with Garlic Naan... As I never prepared at home Naan's... Will always prepare parathas and chapati... For me also it was first time...I was bit nervous too... as I was going to make the Naan's on gas stove.. and not in oven.... And with the god Grace ... finally my Naan's Came just perfect as I thought they should be :) :) .. I was on Cloud nine and Waiting for my hubby to come and eat ....  When he came he was totally astonished.. with the presentation ... decoration  ... and by my homemade NAAN... On his first sight he was not believing that I made them ... he was searching for hotel bill... thinking that I ordered... Then I showed him by making one ... After that he was like WOWWWWWW ...  amazing ... he smiled and it was the moment I felt I won his heart and my hard work got the reward :) :)

That was the story of my Valentine day this year... Want to hear your experiences too ...  How you made special for your partner this Valentine :) :) ...

Now its time to share the recipe of NAAN .... So let's start with it :-

Ingredients :- 

1 cup of  Maida or All Purpose Flour

3/4 cup of curd

1/2 tsp of baking powder

1/4 tsp of baking soda

Salt to taste

1-2 tsp of oil
3-4 tsp chopped garlic or grated garlic
1/2 cup of chopped green coriander 

Procedure :- 

In a bowl add all the ingredients except oil. Kneed a dough.The Dough will be soft and may be sticky. Don't worry.Now brush oil on dough.And cover it with muslin wet cloth or wrap it with gelatin and cover it with some plate . Let it rest for 1 hour. After 1 hour make 4-5 small balls from it.Now heat the pan or tawa for roasting Naan.With the help of Dry flour try to roll Naan in shape of your choice.Then spread garlic and coriander on the Naan.And give one or two more roll downs on the Naan with the roller.So that garlic and coriander get spread on the Naan properly.Once done take the Naan in hand having the other side up (i.e without garlic and coriander side) and apply generous amount of water on it.And place the Naan on hot tawa on watery side.Water is necessary so that our Naan get stick on the Tawa.Once you see the bubbles appear on the Naan.Flip the tawa on stove and try to cook it by rotating the tawa on stove in such a way that it get cooked from all the sides.Once done rub generous amount of butter on it.And then take out from Tawa.And Done :) :)

Easy right !! ... Try this at home soon and let me know the outcome.If somehow the Naan get fallen from Tawa while you are cooking it with rotation , don't worry.Cook it on stove with tongs or direct on tawa.

Hope you and your family will like Home made NAAN more then any restaurant. Enjoy... Stay blessed... Will come soon with new recipe... till then Gd bye.. tc..
