Naan on tawa or tawa naan recipe: Naan is TH’s favourite bread. That and palak paneer are his absolute favourite dishes to order in a restaurant. I recently got the book Artisan Bread in 5 Minutes a Day from the library and got totally smitten by it. I don’t have most of the stuff that they have mentioned as requirements, like pizza peel, oven thermometer, baking stone etc but this Tawa Naan reciperequired no special equipment which was great news.
The dough is the master Boule recipe mentioned in popular bookArtisan Bread in 5 Minutes a Day
. I halved the recipe since I only wanted to use it for naan thefirst time around.

Step by Step Tawa Naan Recipe:
Here’s what we need first – 3/4 tbsp of active dry yeast.
Pin
Throw the yeast in a bowl with 1.5 cups of lukewarm water. I warmed my water in the microwave for a minute on medium-high powder. The recipe says no need to dissolve the yeast or anything but I secretly made sure it is dissolved. You see, nothing wrong in being extra careful.
Pin
Now add 3 and 1/4 cups of all purpose flour and a generous pinch of salt to it.
Pin
Ok, now bring the mixture together with your fingers. No need to knead. You’ll be left with a sticky mass of dough. Just leave it covered somewhere warm and dry for about 20-30 mins.
Pin
I left it alone for around 20 minutes and it almost doubled. The recipe says not to worry about doubling, etc so I didn’t. I always listen to what cookbooks say. Ok, almost always.
Pin
The dough will be sticky and very elastic. Dig your hand in some flour and tear off a peach-sized piece.
Pin
Lay it on a floured surface (my ‘surface’ is this).
Pin
With the use of your hands and/ or your rolling pin, stretch out the dough till you form a naan shaped… err.. thing. Mine is squarebecause I can’t shape naan properly yet. There, I said it.
Pin
Heat a skillet on high heat, brush on some ghee or oil, lower the heat to medium and lay the naan on carefully.
Pin
Flip over in about 2 mins when the first side starts browning.
Pin
Cook closed for 30 seconds to a minute now, depending on the thickness of your naan, which shouldn’t be too much, btw.
Pin
That’s it! Yummy, spongy, soft naan is now ready.The texture and taste was awesome and we loved it. Just make sure to have it when still hot otherwise the naan may turn a bit rubbery. That’s to be expected right, even the ones baked in tandoors that we get in restaurants turn all hard on us if we don’t eat it immediately.

Naangoes fabulously with butter chicken, paneer butter masala, or even this easy chicken curry with coconut milk.
