Garlic and Coriander Naan

Ingredients

• Fresh coriander leaves (Amount not specified)
• 1 tbsp Ghee
• 3 Garlic cloves
• 1 tsp Nigella seeds (Optional)
• 240 g Full-fat milk
• 1.5 tsp Yeast
• 2 tbsp Olive oil or cooking oil (The source gives olive oil or cooking oil as alternatives)
• 1 tsp Sugar
• 1 tsp Salt (The source specifies 1–2 tsp; use to taste within that range)
• 480 g Wheat flour (Plain flour)
• 1 tsp Garlic paste (Listed but marked as not added)
• 120 g Plain yogurt
• Mozzarella or cheddar cheese (Optional; amount not specified)
• Oil for greasing the bowl (A little; amount not specified)

Steps

1. 1

   In a Thermomix, add the coriander leaves and chop for 3 seconds at speed 5. Transfer to a bowl and set aside.

2. 2

   Add the ghee to the Thermomix and melt for 1 minute at 120°C, speed 1.

3. 3

   Add the garlic cloves and chop for 3 seconds at speed 6. For a finer texture, the author used 5 seconds at speed 6 instead.

4. 4

   Add the optional nigella seeds and sauté for 1 minute at 120°C, speed 1. Transfer the mixture to a bowl and set aside.

5. 5

   Add the milk and yeast to the Thermomix. Activate the yeast for 2 minutes at 37°C, speed 1.

6. 6

   Add the olive oil or cooking oil, sugar, salt, wheat flour, garlic paste if using, and plain yogurt. Mix for 20 seconds at speed 3.

7. 7

   Knead using the dough mode for 3 minutes.

8. 8

   Lightly oil a bowl. Put the dough in the bowl and shape it into a ball. Cover or leave it to rest for 30 minutes to 1 hour, until risen.

9. 9

   Divide the dough into several portions and flatten each portion. Add optional mozzarella or cheddar cheese if desired.

10. 10

    Heat a flat pan. Cook the naan until browned, turning as needed to cook it through.

11. 11

    Brush or spread the reserved garlic-and-coriander topping over the cooked naan, then serve.

Notes

Skip the topping section if you do not want a topping. Alternatively, chop the garlic first, then add the ghee and sauté it. The amount of coriander and optional cheese is not specified; neither are the number of naan portions. The source does not specify a pan temperature or exact cooking time.
