Curried Naan Bread
I was asked by a chef to come up with a naan to go with his extensive buffet. I love curries so this was the obvious recipe.
Ingredients
- 500 g strong white flour plus extra for dusting
- 1½ teaspoons salt
- 1 tablespoon olive oil plus extra for frying
- 50 g mild curry powder
- 15 g yeast
- 300 ml water
- 100 gsultanas
- 3 tablespoons mango chutney
Instructions
- Put the flour, salt, oil, curry powder, yeast and water into a bowl and mix together for 2 minutes.
- Tip out onto a lightly floured surface and knead for 5 minutes until the dough is soft and pliable.
- Leave to rise for 30 minutes.
- Line a baking tray.
- Incorporate the sultanas and chutney into the dough.
- Divide the dough into six pieces, put on the baking tray and leave to rest for 1 hour.
- Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and, using a rolling pin, flatten each piece into a circle, 25.
- 5 cm/10 inches in diameter, put back on the tray and leave to rest for 5 minutes.
- Heat a frying pan to a medium heat and add a splash of olive oil.
- Shallow-fry each dough until browned on both sides, then set aside to cool slightly before serving.
