Questions about Garlic naan Indian bread
How do you warm garlic naan without making it tough?
Sprinkle it lightly with water, then heat it in a dry frying pan over a medium heat for about 30 seconds on each side, or wrap it in foil and warm it in a 180 °C oven for 5–8 minutes. Brush with a little butter or oil after heating if you like.
Can you make garlic naan in a frying pan?
Yes. Cook each rolled-out naan in a very hot, dry pan until bubbles form and brown spots appear, usually 1–2 minutes per side. Brush the hot bread with melted butter or ghee mixed with finely chopped garlic and coriander.
What do you serve with garlic naan?
It is made for scooping up saucy dishes such as butter chicken, dal makhani, chana masala and paneer curry. You can also tear it into pieces and serve it with raita or chutney.
Can you freeze garlic naan?
Yes. Freeze it in a sealed bag, with baking paper between pieces so they do not stick together. Reheat from frozen in a foil-covered oven at 180 °C until hot, or thaw it first and warm it in a pan.
How is garlic naan different from plain naan?
Garlic naan is brushed or topped with garlic, often with butter or ghee and coriander; plain naan has no garlic topping. Their listed energy is very similar: 288 kcal per 100 g for garlic naan and 289 kcal for naan Indian bread.
Does garlic naan contain dairy or gluten?
It is made with wheat flour, so it contains gluten. Many recipes also use yoghurt in the dough and butter or ghee on top, though recipes vary; check the ingredients if you need to avoid dairy.
Can you make garlic naan with fresh garlic?
Yes. Finely chop or crush the garlic and mix it into softened butter or ghee, then brush this over the naan as soon as it comes off the pan or oven. Adding it after cooking helps prevent the garlic from burning and turning bitter.
