PREPARATION of spinach naan
Clean and Wash a medium size bunch of Palak/Spinach.
Finely chop them using a food processor or a chopper. Alternatively one can make puree too..
-
In a small bowl, add in 1/2 cup lukewarm water, sugar and yeast.
Keep aside for 10 mins for the yeast to bloom. If the yeast does not bloom, you would need to start again..
-
In a large bowl or your stand mixer add in the flour, salt, chopped spinach and yeast mixture.
Mix everything along and knead the dough for 5 minutes..
-
Since spinach already has water content you might not need any additional water. Add water only if required and a tablespoon at a time..
-
Slowly add the 1 tbsp butter and need it into a smooth and an elastic dough.
Cover it with a cloth or cling wrap and keep it aside for 1-1.5 hours.
The dough should rise if not double..
-
After 1-1.5 hours, divide the dough into equal lemon size balls.
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Roll the balls into desired shape. I rolled them into approximately 4-5 inch circles..
-
Keep them directly onto the baking sheet and keep them aside for at least 15 minutes. If you have time 30 mins preferable..
-
In the meantime preheat the oven to 200 Deg C or 400 F.
Once you are ready to bake, gently rub some water on the top of Naan.
Rub the minced garlic and sprinkle some Nigella seeds. Gently tap it..
-
Bake it in a preheated oven for 10-12 minutes or until the edges start turning brown.
Rub some butter on top and Serve it hot with some yummy curry.
-
In a pressure cooker take toor dal, turmeric,salt and heeng with water and cook for 2-3 whistles..
-
Now to make tadka
In a pan or kadhai heat 2 tbsp ghee and splutter cumin, 1 bay leaf and 2 dried red chilli.
also add chopped cloves of garlic, ginger, 1 chilli and saute slightly..
-
Next add chopped onion and saute until it turns golden brown.
keeping the flame on low add chilli powder, coriander powder and salt if more is needed..
-
Next add in chopped tomato and saute until it turns soft and mushy.
