NAAN (WITHOUT YEAST) WITH ALOO GOBI
The first time when I tried making naan at home,I took the recipe from a cookbook and it had yeast in it.My hubby dint liked the smell of yeast,me neither
. May be I dint knew the right way of using it(but I used an active one,that's for sure!)
The next time,almost after 2 years
,I tried out the same recipe,omitting the yeast part. It came out quite good! 
I thought of sharing with you all!
Aloo gobi I tried after I got the recipe from my friend S.It tastes great with this Naan.

Now Coming to the recipe of Aloo gobi
(Pictures Updated)
Ingredients:
| Potato | 2 nos. |
| cauliflower | 15 bit size florets |
| Onion | 1 no. |
| Tomato | 1 no. medium |
| redchilli powder | 1 tsp |
| Turmeric | 1/4 tsp |
| Jeera | 1 tsp |
| Coriander leaves | 2 tbsp Chopped |
| Oil/Ghee | 1 1/2 tblsp |
| Salt | as needed |
Method:
- Microwave potatoes in high for 2 minutes,and peel off the skin and cube it and keep aside.( potatoes should be only 3/4 th cooked) Parboil cauliflower in salt added water and drain the water and keep aside. Cut onion length wise and cube the tomatoes.
- Heat kadai and add oil/ghee and when hot splutter cumin.Add onion and fry till transparent,add the tomatoes,red chilli and turmeric powders and fry for a minute.
- Then add the potato,cauliflower,coriander leaves and sprinkle salt and little water and mix well.Cook covered till the cauliflower and potato becomes soft but not gooey and absorbs the masla.(mix in between once/twice)By this time,the tomatoes would have given a coat to the aloo and gobi. Transfer to the serving bowl and garnish with coriander leaves.
Naan:
Ingredients:
| Maida/All pupose flour | 2 cups |
| Fresh thick curds | 1/2 cup |
| Milk,warm | 1/2 cup |
| Sugar | 1/2 tsp |
| Salt | 1 tsp |
| Baking powder | 3/4 tsp |
| Cooking soda | 3/4 tsp |
| Melted Ghee/Butter | 4 tsps |
Method:
- Sieve maida with baking powder and cooking soda for 3 times.( to ensure even mixing) take the seived flour in a bowl and make a dent in the centre. Pour milk,curd,salt,sugar in that dent.
- Mix well after a minute,gather the flour with your finger tips and dont knead hard.Keep aside covered for 2-3 hours. (U can keep upto 7-8 hours)Knead the dough softly at the time of making and make even sized balls.The size should be larger than our chapatti making ball.
- the rolling platform generously with maida and roll it and pull one edge to make a tear shape.( I could not get that shape this time properly
) Apply water on top of naan and turn over it to the hot tawa so that the water applied part sticks to the pan.
- Cook covered in medium flame and after a minute if u open,u could see it has puffed up.Now turn the pan upside down and cook the otherside on direct flame till the other side becomes light golden in colour.If u r not comfortable in this u can simply take and put the nan in direct flame as u do for roties ,otherwise also u can turn over it in tawa itself and cook.Its your choice.But cooking in direct flame sure gives a good finish to the naan. Apply butter/ghee over both sides and serve hot.! I served with aloo gobi
It is coming very very soft and please do try it and tell me how it came!!!
Break!! I am taking a short break for 2 weeks,see u all after May 10th!  |

Thats a genius idea of making naans without yeast Raks..Naans looks prefect and ur aloo gobi tempts me a lot, looks too delicious!
'No yeast naan' made me jump to this post :D Loved the combo Raji. They looks soo yumm together :)
I am a big fan of nans but havent taken up courage to try it....but urs looks nice fluffy. Bookmarked, will definitely try it soon!
Wow, that really tempting dear..Aloo Gobi looks very much attractive..With nans lying beside, Ah!!! I can imagine how you would have enjoyed...
As I told you...the naan looks real yummy with aloo gobi....I'll try and let you know okie...inbtw Enjoy your trip ..have a gud time :)

Wow! .. the Naaans look amazing! I guess curd, soda, baking powder did the trick - cant imagine why one would add yeast as well on top of that!!! Your Naans came out fantastic without the yeast! Good for you!

Hi
I am following your blog for some time and find your receipies simple and delicious.
I am using same receipe you gave for naan from last so many years and it never failed.
You can use same dough for Bhathuras as well. Mean you have deep fry instead of roasing on tawa.
with best wishes
Nisha

Nice recipe ... just want to know how long does the nans stay soft .. i am planning to try this tomorrow but my mom in law has a habit of eating after all of us are done in that case she may not be able to enjoy the real taste and i fear the nans may turn hard.. kindly suggest .. pls also let me know - can i increase the proportion of baking powder instead of soda.
Hi Manidipa,
This nan stays soft reasonably till 4-5 hrs to my knowledge,keep covered thats all don't worry!
Loved the detailed pics Vijaya. Naan looks super soft, will try without yeast next time I make Naans. I'm also planning to make your broad beans curry very soon. Will let you know how both turns out :-)
Sitting in the office...getting bored...thought of checking some food blogs...glad to find your space.
I too don't like yeast.
I like your nan.
Hi, I was googling for some naan recipe without yeast and came across yours. I am glad that I did.It came out very well and soft and my husband was all in praises after tasting it. U wont believe me, in the past one month, I have made it atleast 4 times for various occasions and it was always a hit. I am in Germany now, and the last time I made it was for a house party and even the Germans who tasted it liked it very much. Thanks for the recipe.
Thankyou so much sudha for spending time to give feed back to me!!
Glad you all liked it and keep visiting:)

May be its the quality of the flour or some times either the cooking soda if its too much or oil/butter too much in the prepared dough there are chances of turning yellow.
But major thing is the flour...
