    I've never made bread before, so making Indian bread my first time, I didnt know if I was doing things right or not. I fried mine in a skillet and it went well with dinner, but it wasnt as soft and fluffy as real naan. I will try out a couple other naan recipes, but at least I know that the taste of this one is what Im looking for!

    This is a great recipe, but I added some things... I used 1 cup of semolina flour and 1 cup plain flour. Semolina flour is a stronger flour and is used alot in breads, pizza doughs and such. It gives this bread (naan) a better texture, much more like restaurant quality. I also ommitted the onion seeds, and added onion powder (same amount) to the flour mixture when mixing. I also did not use my oven or grill. I find it much easier to cook in my cast iron frying pan. (On the stove top) Just get your pan hot and immediately before placing your dough in, spray it with olive oil spray. It only needs 30 seconds to cook on both sides and it looks and tastes like restaurant quality. I made this as an accompaniment to Butter Chicken with raita.

    Well, this definately tasted like delicious naan bread. However, it didn't really puff up for me in the oven (thus, 4 stars instead of 5). I subsituted 1 cup of wheat flour + 1 Tbs gluten for 1 cup of all purpose flour, so this might have caused the bread to remain flat. But other than the slightly-wrong shape, it was delicious. One tip: I added about 1 tsp of garam masala to the dough, and it really seemed to add a lot of authentic flavor to the recipe. I served this with Chicken Vindaloo (#24139) and Indian Spiced Rice (#21855).
