    Method

    • step 1

      In a small bowl, mix the yeast and sugar with a tablespoon of warm water to activate. Leave for 5 minutes in a warm place until frothy.
    • step 2

      Meanwhile, in a separate bowl mix the flour, salt and baking powder.
    • step 3

      Once yeast is frothy add it to the flour with the oil, yoghurt and milk.
    • step 4

      Knead the dough, with slightly wet hands, folding as you go until it is nice and soft.
    • step 5

      Place the dough in a mixing bowl, cover it with cling film and leave it in a warm place to rise for 1 hour.
    • step 6

      Divide the dough into four balls and place on a floured surface.
    • step 7

      Place all ingredients for the filling into a blender and blitz to a course powder.
    • step 8

      Flatten out each ball and place about 1 tbsp of the filling into the middle. Pull up the dough to seal the filling inside then carefully roll into a tear shape about 0.5cm/¼in thick.
    • step 9

      Heat the tava or frying pan and turn on the grill to high to heat up. Place the naan onto the pan for about a minute or two to brown on one side.
    • step 10

      Transfer to a baking tray (cooked side down) and cook under a hot grill for 2 - 5 minutes until all puffed up. Smear with butter to serve.

    Have tried many pashwari naan bread recipes over the years, at last have found one that is just perfect, taste and texture, making again today

    Absolutely terrible. I’ve used the other Naan bread recipes from this site and they where great. This one was dry hard and claggy total waste of time and ingredients would not recommend .

    Delicious peshwari naan, thank you for the recipe! I used coconut, sultanas and ground almonds for the filling instead but kept the quantities the same.
