Tawa Naan | Plain Naan || How to Make Tawa Naan with step-by-step photos.... 

Tawa Naan is the most popular bread in Pakistan, Traditionally naan is cooked in a tandoor (hot clay oven) But I find at home tawa naan is much easier to make, Tawa naan turns out soft and tastes great hassle-free with no tandoor or no stove is needed.

Tawa naan is quite easy and simple, just like chapati but a little tricky part will be applied to make this naan, we are not cooking naan in the oven nor using any yeast in it.

Naan goes well with cholenihari, payehaleem, or any gravy-based dish so let's begin.

Garlic Tawa Naan || Homemade Garlic Naan Recipe without yeast || How to make Garlic Tawa Naan at home with step-by-step photos......

Garlic Tawa Naan is an extremely popular Pakistani flatbread recipe made with plain flour and garlic. this is most popular across Pakistan and all over the globe. mainly because of the flavor and taste     

It is basically so soft and delicious restaurant-style garlic naan No yeast no oven is used to make this naan. I made this naan on the stovetop. traditionally naan is made in a tandoor(clay oven) but at home. I prefer the stovetop method. you can also, bake them in the oven but I think they are so much softer and better when cooked on a stove-top 

                     

garlic-tawa-naan

here I didn’t apply garlic butter over the naan whereas I applied it during the cooked naan. But you can brush garlic butter over the naan as desired

Also, I highly recommend not using non-stick utensils in cooking. naan rather an iron-cast skillet or another silver metal

For the best result follow my detailed step-by-step photo

instructions and tips below the recipe card

Recipe Notes:

  1. I used baking powder and baking soda for proofing the plain flour dough. The traditional recipe includes yeast you can use if you are comfortable using it
  2. You can use the cooker as a tandoor and stick the bread to the sides of the cooker and heat it upside down
  3. Naan is prepared with maida so it becomes chewy if it is rested for a while. it is recommended to serve it immediately with a choice of curry

    Lachha Paratha is a unique flatbread that can be made of both wheat flour and all-purpose flour. It is crispy and flaky, with layers visible from the outside. Lachha Paratha looks more like a ‘pinwheel cookie’. Once you start eating it, it will melt in your mouth, and you will feel that the layers are coming off one by one.

    Most importantly traditionally it is fried only with ghee. But these days any kind of cooking oil is used. Sometimes oil is mixed with a small amount of ghee.it's very tasty besides being crispy. paratha is generally prepared from wheat and all-purpose flour mixed together
