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 chole, nihari, paye, haleem, or any gravy-based dish so let's begin.

In a bowl add flour, baking soda, sugar, yogurt, and salt mix them well then add oil, further mix to combine

Start kneading the dough by adding little by little water

Note: the dough should be naan soft but not stick to your fingers

Note: Naan comes out better if the dough is kneaded well

Keep kneading the dough for about 15 minutes till gets the soft dough.

It's looking soft and smooth, now transfer it to another bowl, apply some oil all over the dough, wrap the dough with a cling keep it in a warm place, and let it rest for 3-4 hours.

After 4 hours knead a little bit more for 2 minutes, divide the equal balls of the dough, apply some oil to the fingers, and make the smooth balls each.

Now heat the tawa on a medium flame.

Note: don’t use the nonstick skillet(Tawa) iron skillet works best, sprinkle some water on a medium-hot skillet

Flatten a ball between your palm, coat the ball with flour dust, sprinkle some flour over the surface/rolling board, and Start rolling the naan about a 7-inch diameter.
Note, that you can roll it around or make it an oval shape, The naan shouldn’t be very thin, use some simple water over the naan with your fingers.

Now put naan on Tawa, and make sure the wet part goes in the bottom, let it cook for a minute over medium heat, naan should be dry from the surface before the tur.n

As you see flour is getting dry now here it comes, flips the Tawa and just go around for 1 minute, should not be very high heat.

Otherwise, it will cook very fast and may burn, so just keep tweaking, Naan is getting done almost.

The Naan color is looking really good, The Naan is ready, Now take it out and transfer it to the plate.

Naan is done, garnish with butter mixture.

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

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:

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
You can use the cooker as a tandoor and stick the bread to the sides of the cooker and heat it upside down
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
