Naan and HLI – Spinach an event announcement

I absolutely love naans specially butter naans (yeah yeah who doesn’t like butter come on?) But somehow since I have come to Bangalore I have always been left wanting for more when it comes to naan. So somedays back when I saw this butter naan I decided to give it a try

I made it twice, once I rolled it a thicker a little like kulcha I would say and once like above thin and strechted like a perfect both the times the result was only yummnesss, I liked the naan version better and the hubby liked the kulcha kind of version better

Recipe – Naan (source Zesty Palette)

What I used

• 3 cups all purpose flour
• (3/4 tbsp) instant dry yeast (I use gloripan)
• Pinch of sugar
• Salt to taste
• Water (About 1 cup warm water)
• 1 tbsp olive oil
• Butter for greasing as much as you want, go ahead don’t be shy

How I made it

• Activate the yeast with sugar and warm water for 5 minutes.
• Mix this with flour and salt and knead well for about 5-7 minutes till you get a smooth and stretchy dough

• Leave it for proofing for about 3 hours or so
• Pinch the dough and make small same sized balls. Roll it out in a oven or desired shape. Grease with butter
• Bake in a preheated oven at 200C for 2-3 minutes, turn and bake for another 2 mins…
• Serve hot with more butter if you want

And now to the event announcement, If you look around yourself  I can bet you won’t be able to find even one mom who is not always breaking her heads for finding new healthy lunchbox ideas, thats why I loved the idea of HLI event started by Mom Chef Kalyani.
