Butter Naan and Aloo Palak

One of my favourite and am sure everyone's favourite :) Indian bread .. tandoori style bread....


Ingredients: 


250gm plain Flour
2tsp sugar
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp baking powder
100ml  milk
2 tsp oil
sesame seeds
fresh chopped coriander
melted butter for brushing naan


Procedure:

1. Sift together the flour,sugar,salt and baking powder.
2. In a separate bowl, mix oil and milk together.
3. In a pan in which you are going to make dough, make a well in the centre of the dry ingredients and then in this pour the milk-oil mixture.
4. Start making dough.
5. The dough should become soft. Knead well back and forth. 
6. In an oiled pan ( non metalic and oven proof) keep the dough.
7. Cover the pan with muslin cloth or tea towel and keep in a warm place for minimum 1 hour.( I kept it in an oven heated on minimum temperature.
8. After one hour, the dough will rise up. ( Ideally it should be rise up to double size)
9. Once risen up, make 5 balls off the dough.
10. Preheat the oven on 220 degrees ( or on the highest grill temperature of the oven). Keep a baking sheet on the tray and keep the tray in oven.
11. Role the dough ball into oval shaped Naan. Pour little sesame seeds and finely chopped coriander over Naan bread and role again on the Naan to suppress the seeds and coriander.
12. Keep the Naan on the baking sheet and keep the tray in the upper shelf.
13. Grill for 2-3 minutes or till the brown coloured spots.
14. While hot, brush with butter and serve.

Enjoy!!!!!!!!

I am also going to post Naan using Yeast. Today's was the Baking powder version. 

Let us see which is better either with Yeast or with Baking powder.
