Best Healthy Vegan Indian Naan (Or Garlic Naan) Bread!

Recipe #258001 | 2½ hours | 1½ hours prep | add private note

Most healthier naan recipes didn't taste as good to us as the recipes that included oil and dairy. So, we came up with this yummy and healthier alternative that amazingly still has no added oil or dairy! Like most naan recipes it is time consuming, but we love Indian food and can't seem to eat it without the naan. Add the garlic to turn the plain naan into garlic naan (our favorite). We use our recipe Quick Tofu and Cashew Sour Cream (Vegan) for the vegan sour cream, but you can also find it in grocery or health food stores.

    The family loved the Naan. I live in Honduras and can't find vegan sour cream here so I used the local sour cream. Other changes: I used skim milk, added the fresh garlic into the dough while kneading, added black pepper & garlic powder. I also brushed butter on one side when done. Thanks so much for sharing!

    Yum! I cut the serving size to four and used lactose free milk. These were so easy to make and they tasted so yummy. Other changes I did were I brushed the dough with some olive oil and sprinkled a little garlic on top of the dough before placing them to the griddle. Thank Enjolinfam

    This was great. Easy to make, and close to what I am used to eating at Indian restaurants, but without all of the unhealthy things...
