Afghani Feteer Naan Recipe

                                   

Afghani Feteer Naan | Afghani Naan || How to Make Feteer Piyazi Naan with step-by-step photos 

Afghani Feteer Naan is a multilayered flatbread that is soft, fluffy, and oval-shaped. It is filled with salty onions and fresh coriander leaves. By using butter in each layer, the naan becomes incredibly tender and airy.

 

This bread can best be described as a cross between a croissant and a paratha. It’s light, flaky, buttery, and pairs wonderfully with a cup of tea, jam, kebabs, or simply enjoyed on its own. Baked in the oven, the aroma of this bread fills the house, making it hard to resist.

 

I have tried many times to make the perfect naan, but I struggled to achieve that ideal fluffiness and softness. Eventually, I realised where I had been making my mistakes.

                   

Kneading the perfect dough is essential for achieving soft and fluffy naan. This principle applies to all types of soft bread, including chapatis and parathas, which depend heavily on the kneading process. 

For kachoris and puris, however, you need to prepare a slightly harder dough than you would for naan, bread, or parathas. You can find my naan dough recipe in my previous post.

                               

Recipe tips:

The weight of each naan dough ball should be approximately 200 grams. Using dough that weighs less than 200 grams may result in naan that is not soft or fluffy. 

 

Avoid using a rolling pin or dusting the naan with flour, as this can cause it to become stiff. Additionally, do not cook naan over high or medium heat, as it may burn. 

 

Bake the naan for no more than 5 minutes, as baking for longer will make it stiff and dry. It is important to apply butter to the naan right after taking it out of the oven. 

 

You can also make variations of naan by using chicken or mutton mince, or grated cheese with parsley instead of onion. The rest of the preparation method remains the same. 

 

Cooking naan on a Tawa will help keep it soft.

Prepare this recipe first by kneading the dough that I shared in my previous post. You can see from there.

Secondly, take all the veggies and prepare them to keep aside

Wash the onion before cutting; otherwise, your naan can be soggy

Sprinkle some salt over the onion. Mix them with chopped coriander leaves, mix them together, and set aside.

                                                       

Place the naan dough on a working surface, make a hole in the centre of the dough, give it a thick rope shape, and then divide it into equal portions.

                          

Take a portion and give it a ball shape, and place it on a tray. 

                                   

Take one ball and roll it approximately 10-12 inches into a round shape, apply melted butter over the rolled roti, then sprinkle flour.

Now, put salted onion slices and coriander leaves over the roti, and start rolling till the end. In each roll, apply butter on top; it will look like a roll.

               

Again, gently start rolling the rope like a snail, and press the end in the middle.

                

Place all prepared dough balls on the tray and cover them with a kitchen towel.

                             

In the second method, roll the dough ball with the same method as before, apply melted butter, sprinkle flour, then put onion and coriander over the roti; a bit of a change in rolling the roti: cut the roti from the middle down. 

                   

Roll it like a cone from left to right. Apply butter in each roll until it becomes completely rolled, press it gently, and repeat the same process with the other naan dough too.o  

Now it’s up to you to decide what is easy to apply the method to

                                  

Cover the prepared dough with a kitchen towel and leave it for 15 minutes to rise. While making the naan, turn on the oven at 250 C for 30 minutes.

                             

Take one prepared naan dough, press it gently with an oiled hand, and give it a naan shape. Pierce the naan with a fork.

                         

Put the naan on a preheated tawa on low-medium heat just for 1-2 minutes till cooked from the bottom.m 

                             

         

Shift the uncooked naan to the baking dish and milk wash on top of the naan.

                   

Put the naan in the preheated oven on the top rack at 250 C for just 5 minutes.

                                      

Take the naan out of the oven.

                   

Then apply butter over the naan. Butter makes your naan soft and aromatic.

                   

Again, cover with a kitchen towel for 20 minutes.

                                 

Feteer naan is ready. You can see the perfect soft naan texture in the picture below.

           

             

Afghani feteer naan is ready to serve with tea, cutlets, or kabab.

Firstly, wash the meat very well under running water so that blood can be removed from the meat.

Rinse and chop onions, ginger, and garlic. In the grinder jar, put onions, ginger, cloves of black cardamom, and black peppercorns, and blend them well until a smooth paste.

Take a separate bowl, put the beef in it, then add the onion paste, mix them well, and keep them in the fridge to marinate for around 30 minutes. In the meantime, boil water in the saucepan to add the grail.

Note: You may have noticed that I always use boiled and hot water for cooking. The reason is that when you add plain water to the curry or rice, cooking will stop immediately, and you can’t get the actual result that you want.

                                   

  
After 30 minutes, place the cooker on the stove, then add oil, heat it, put marinated meat into the pot, and keep stirring until the oil separates.

Then add 1-2 cups of boiled and hot water.  
Bring it to a boil, then cover the lid for 30-40 minutes on medium to low flame until the meat is tender. If you see the water in the gravy dry up over a high flame.

         

Note: There isn’t much gravy in this recipe like other meat curries. Right after squeezing lemon juice, add black pepper and grated ginger. Simmer it for 2-3 minutes on a very low flame.

Now the beef grill is ready to serve with chapatis, rumble roti, naan, and tandoori roti.
                 

Rabri Kheer Recipe ( Rice Milk Dessert )

                                                      

Rabri Kheer Recipe || Rice Kheer | Creamy Rice Milk Dessert with Step-by-Step Photos and Video...

 

Rabri kheer is an indulgent dessert that combines the richness of thick, creamy milk with the comforting essence of rice, resulting in a delightful sweet treat that is beloved across various cultures, particularly among Asian communities. Known as Rabdi kheer, this luxurious milk dessert holds a special place in celebrations and is often prepared for festive occasions or auspicious moments.

 

At its core, rabri kheer is made from a harmonious blend of luscious full-fat milk, tender rice, sweet sugar, and an assortment of fragrant dry fruits, offering a symphony of flavors and textures. Kheer recipes are incredibly versatile, evolving over the years with numerous variations that delight the palate in different ways.

For a detailed recipe, watch my video where I explain the steps one by one.

                                                   

My Latest Video Rabri Rice Kheer :

Typically, this creamy rice pudding is crafted by cooking rice slowly in rich milk until it becomes wonderfully soft and tender. The magic truly happens when you blend the cooked rice with thick, sweetened milk or rabri. 

In this recipe, I opted for a delightful twist by integrating condensed milk and khoya, which elevates the kheer’s creamy consistency and enhances its decadence.

 

To add an extra layer of flavor complexity, I also topped the kheer with caramelized sugar, imparting a deliciously sweet, slightly toasty flavor. This innovative step may not be traditional, but it certainly transforms the kheer into a truly opulent dessert, making it infinitely more inviting and intriguing for everyone at the table.

 

While you can certainly enjoy rabdi kheer in its classic form, this extra touch of caramelization is entirely optional but does make for a show-stopping presentation that will impress your guests.

                                   

Recipe Notes:  

As is standard with any kheer recipe, the use of full-fat milk is essential for achieving that rich, creamy texture that kheer is celebrated for. Using skim or low-fat milk might extend the cooking time significantly, 

And you may find yourself needing a larger quantity of milk to achieve the desired richness. So, when making this exquisite dessert, don’t shy away from opting for the full-fat variety!

You may need to use a heavy-bottom pan to prepare the rabdi kheer. A heavy-bottom pan helps to distribute the heat evenly and also prevent milk from sticking to the bottom. In addition, do not forget to stir the milk continuously. You may use a spatula or a wooden stick to scrape the bottom. 

The dessert is best served chilled. You may serve it hot, but it may turn thicker and creamier when it is rested. Additionally, if you find the consistency too thick or too thin, you can adjust it by adding milk.

Ingredients: 150g,ponia rice 1250ml,milk 1/2 tsp cardamom powder 200g condensed milk 2 tbsp crushed almonds & pistachios 150g, khoya A few drops of kewra water 2-3 tbsp sugar for caramel

                    

How to Make Rabri Kheer:

Soak the Rice for Kheer:

To prepare a delicious rabri kheer, you need to start by soaking the rice. Ideally, soak it for 2-3 hours to allow the grains to absorb water and soften, 

which helps in achieving a creamy texture. If you're short on time, you can speed up the process by soaking the rice in hot water for about an hour.

                            

Once soaked, transfer the rice to a food processor and pulse it briefly. Be careful not to grind the rice into a fine powder; a coarse texture is preferred because finely powdered rice can alter the rich flavor profile of the rabri kheer.

                                                    

Boiling the Milk:

For this recipe, I recommend using packaged milk, as it tends to have a thicker consistency compared to fresh milk. There’s no need to boil the milk from the pack. 

Simply heat it gently in a broad, heavy-bottomed pan until it’s warm before you add the ground rice. This step is critical to ensure the milk does not scorch while preparing the kheer.

                        

Making the Rabri Kheer:

Begin by pouring the warmed milk into your heavy pan and adding a pinch of green cardamom powder for a touch of aromatic flavor. Stir the mixture well and continue heating it for about 3-4 minutes. 

                                

Once the milk is heated, carefully incorporate the soaked, coarsely ground rice. It’s crucial to stir continuously with a spoon to prevent the rice from clumping together. 

An effective method for adding the rice is to dissolve it in a small amount of warm milk first, similar to how you would dissolve custard powder before mixing it in. 

This technique helps create a smoother mixture and ensures even cooking. As you stir, avoid adding any water, as this can compromise the kheer’s texture and flavor.

                        

Once the rice grains get soft 

To sweeten and enrich the kheer, I prefer using condensed milk instead of traditional sugar, which lends a creamy consistency to the dish.

Keep mixing the kheer while adding the condensed milk over a low to medium flame, stirring regularly to prevent it from sticking to the bottom of the pan.

                     

If you choose to use rabri in your kheer, you can skip the addition of khoya (milk solids). However, if you’re following my personal recipe, add crushed almonds and pistachios to enhance the flavor and texture. Continue to stir the mixture until the khoya (if using) is fully dissolved.

                           

For an aromatic finish, add a few drops of rose water or kewra (screwpine essence). Keep stirring until the kheer begins to bubble on the surface and thickens to your desired consistency. Once it thickens, turn off the flame.

                      

Caramelizing the Sugar:

In a separate pan, gently heat 2-3 tablespoons of sugar over low heat. It’s vital to remain vigilant and stir the sugar continuously to prevent it from burning and turning black. The goal is to achieve a rich, caramel-colored finish. 

                                             

Once the sugar is perfectly caramelized, carefully pour it into the kheer and stir well to combine, enlivening the dish with its rich flavor. Your delicious rabri kheer is now ready to be served!

                                 

Serving Tips:

Transfer the kheer to a serving bowl and garnish it with a sprinkle of the remaining crushed almonds and pistachios for an added crunch. For an elegant touch, you can also lay silver edible paper on top as decoration. 

                                       

For the best experience, chill the kheer in the refrigerator for 4-5 hours before serving. 

                               

Enjoy this delightful and creamy treat cold, perfect for any occasion!
