There is nothing better to soak up extra curry sauce than a piece of naan bread.
Ingredients
1/2 cup warm water
2 teaspoons active dry yeast
1 teaspoon sugar
2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, plus extra for rolling
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup canola oil
1/3 cup plain yogurt
1 large egg
clarified butter, for frying
Directions
- In a large bowl, stir together the water, yeast and sugar and let stand for 5 minutes, until foamy.
- Stir in the flour, salt, oil, yogurt and egg and stir. Knead until you have a soft, pliable dough.
- Cover with a tea towel and let rise until doubled in size; about an hour.
- Divide the dough into 6 - 8 pieces and on a lightly floured surface, roll out each piece into a thin circle or oval.
- Cook each naan in a nice hot skillet drizzled with clarified butter until blistered and cooked, flipping as necessary.
- When the surface has big blisters and is golden on the bottom, flip it over and cook until golden on the other side.
- Spread with butter before serving and add chopped garlic and herbs, if desire
