This hearty and comforting stew is packed with Indian spices, tender chicken, and potatoes for a delicious and satisfying meal. It's perfect for a cold winter night or when you're feeling under the weather. The warming spices will help clear your sinuses and the delicious flavors will soothe your soul.
Ingredients You'll Need
1. All-Purpose Flour
2. Yeast
3. Sugar
4. Salt
5. Yogurt
6. Onion
7. Ghee
8. Cumin Seeds
9. Coriander Powder
10. Garlic Powder
Now that you have your ingredients, it's time to get started on making your tasty onion naan. The first step is to create the dough. In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, yeast, sugar, and salt. Then, add in the yogurt and mix until a soft dough forms. Knead the dough for a few minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic.
Next, cover the dough with a damp cloth and let it rise in a warm place for about an hour. This will allow the dough to double in size and become easier to work with. While you're waiting for the dough to rise, you can prepare the onion filling.
Chop the onion into small pieces and sauté them in ghee until they become soft and translucent. Then, add in the cumin seeds, coriander powder, and garlic powder to create a fragrant and flavorful filling for your naan.
Once the dough has risen, divide it into equal-sized balls and roll them out into thin circles. Place a spoonful of the onion filling in the center of each circle, then fold the dough over the filling and pinch the edges to seal it in. Roll out the dough once more to flatten and evenly distribute the filling.
Finally, heat a pan over medium-high heat and cook the naan for a few minutes on each side until they are golden brown and slightly crispy on the edges. You can also brush some ghee on top of the naan while it's cooking for added flavor and texture.
And there you have it, your very own homemade onion naan. This delicious bread is the perfect accompaniment to any Indian dish or can be enjoyed on its own as a snack. Give this recipe a try and impress your friends and family with your newfound naan-making skills!
