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).

This was really good. It took just about a minute for each naan to broil. It puffed beautifully. I would suggest that after forming six balls, let the dough rest a little. Otherwise, it was quite difficult to roll. I made a couple of garlic naans as well. Thanks for the recipe.

Great recipe for naan. I baked mine in the oven at about 400 for about 8 minutes I think.

This was a very tasty recipe. I made a few small substitutions, mostly because I was too lazy to go back out to the store to get what I really needed. I used straight butter instead of clarified, and sour cream instead of yogourt. I also omitted the onion seeds (though I will use them next time). I was trying to make this recipe come out just right under the broiler, but it doesn't quite, and I will be doing this in my cast iron like usual next time. But, YES, there will be a next time! Excellent flavour and I loved the texture! Thank you for sharing!

Very good! I added a layer of cured olives to the bottom of some of them and they were freaking heavenly. They are also pretty good pan fried in some olive oil.

These naan were very good. I let the dough sit for 10 minutes after seperating it into six parts. I spread the naan out with my fingers instead of rolling them out, and I sprinkled sesame seeds on half of them. Delicious!! Will definately be making these again! Thanx.

Wonderful! On my first try I used wholemeal flour and they didn't puff up--but tasted ok as flat breads. Husband said they tasted good & he knew they were healthy, so... But 2nd time around I used all purpose white flour, butter instead of clarified butter, and (feeling adventurous) divided dough into 2 batches and rolled some chopped garlic into the 2nd batch. They were great!!! (Under my oven grill they took 1 min 30 seconds each side)Husband said they tasted better (!) than the ones from the Indian Restaurant so Thank You, Charishma Ramchandani!

We really liked this bread. I have been trying to get a recipe for the Naan that they serve at my favorite Indian restaurant. This is very close and I'm thinking that it would need to be baked in a tandoori oven to get it to taste more authentic. I used 1 pkg. rapid rise yeast and 2 tbsps. peach yogurt(didn't realize I was out of plain). Very good Char. Thanks Rita
