Try These Indian Tricks for Perfect Naan Every Time Pale, flat naan that comes out stiff as a cold tortilla is almost always the result of two fixable mistakes: dead yeast and a pan that is not nearly hot enough. The video walks through why warm water tested on the wrist, not hot tap water, keeps yeast alive, and how to confirm it by watching for a foamy head after ten to fifteen minutes. Garlic butter gets its own careful treatment, because cooking garlic until golden turns it bitter, so the heat goes off the moment the chopped cloves hit the melted butter. Yogurt and a tablespoon of that garlic butter go into the dough itself to keep the naan soft and give it the restaurant tang most home versions miss. The cast iron pan needs to reach the point where water drops jump and dance before the naan goes in dry, which is what creates the dark blistered spots. Proof the yeast in warm water with a pinch of sugar before mixing any dough, because two wasted minutes beats two wasted hours of rising time. After shaping the dough into balls, let them rest a second time for fifteen to twenty minutes so they relax and roll out without springing back. #naan #garlicnaan #naanrecipe #indiancooking #indianfood #flatbread #cookingfromhome #homemadenaanrecipe
