Jingee Sambar and Naan Roti
Sambar is a South Indian dish traditionally made with moringa, however, I had some jingee (chinese ochro) and it made a great substitute.
This was also my first attempt at making Naan at home. My kids love Naan especially since it is so soft and pillowy, they eat it alone sometimes. The recipe I used produced excellent Naan both in taste and texture and I made it on the tawa.
I did not butter the top so it looks like Sada roti but it is so different!

In a large pot, add in 4 cups of water and vegetables including onion.
- 3

Add in milk and combine.
- 15
Knead for 8-10 mins.
- 16
Cover bowl and let it rest for 2 hours at room temperature.
- 17
If you do not have 2 hours, place the covered bowl on the stove near the pot you are cooking the sambar in. The heat will help the yeast to work faster. By the time your sambar is done cooking, your Naan will be ready to cook. The dough must double in size.
- 18
Divide dough into 5 pieces.
- 19
Heat a tawa on low-medium heat.
- 20
Roll out each piece and cook on tawa for 5 mins. There should be light brown spots on the Naan and it should have swollen in a few places.
- 21
Butter the Naan or wrap in tea towel to keep warm. Naan remains soft even when cold.

I recreated the naan served at my favourite Indian restaurant. The menu says it is hand-stretched naan made with a generous amount of milk, so I included a lot of milk in this recipe.Keep an eye on it, or it will burn! It depends how strong the heat is, but it takes me 5-6 minutes to grill each naan. Recipe by Puriman

Easy & Authentic Naan Bread Easy & Authentic Naan Bread
I wanted to make freshly cooked naan at home, so I cam up with this recipe.Please be sure to bake the naan on the at a high temperature. It will be nicely browned, as delicious as authentic Indian naan is. For the all purpose flour, use Lys d'Or or a flour that is specifically meant for French-style bread. If you can't get all purpose flour, use half each of cake and bread flours.I added baking powder to the recipe to improve it. If you don't have any though, you can just omit it.

Indian Naan Bread: Add Toppings or Serve Plain Indian Naan Bread: Add Toppings or Serve Plain
I usually buy naan, but I made it this time to go with a curry.When I ate the freshly baked naan that was topped with aromatic cumin seeds and coriander, I was amazed at how easy, delicious and economical it was. It made me think I should make it every time instead of buying it.The dry yeast is active if it foams after adding the lukewarm water.If using fresh coriander leaves, you can knead it into the dougn in steps 4-5; it's delicious and I recommend it.Please adjust the amount of liquid if needed depending on the environment, temperature and so on. For 3 naan. Recipe by Plabar -
My Family's Favourite Naan My Family's Favourite Naan
I used to go to a restaurant that specialised in curry, and the Indian chef made really great authentic Indian curry. The naan from that restaurant was amazing.Pan-fry the naan well until until it changes colour from white to cream. It will make the naan fluffy.Stretching out the dough by hand instead of using a rolling pin makes the surface bumpy, and looks more like authentic naan.Authentic naan for curry is usually brushed with simple syrup, and goes well with spicy curry.
