Instant Garlic Naan Recipe { No Yeast }

Super Easy Instant Garlic Naan Recipe you will ever need. Serve your favourite Curry like Paneer Peshawari or even Dhaba Style Aloo Matar with this Garlic Naan Bread.

Making Flatbread at home is a regular thingy, but its always made with wholewheat flour. I often made Vegetable Puree Flatbreads like Pumpkin Roti, Spinach Roti or even Avocado Chapati. These vegetable roti’s are a great way to incorporate a portion of 5 a day into my kiddo’s diet without any noise.

Not to mention about the other type of flatbread that we often enjoy at home are stuffed flatbreads like Stuffed Kidneybeans Paratha { Rajma Paratha } , Stuffed Aloo Palak Paratha, Aloo Paratha, Paneer Paratha and what not…

Occasionally, I make flatbreads with plain flour or All Purpose flour like these Garlic Naan. Having said that, this naan bread can be made with whole wheat flour too:) Kids really love them at home, as long as mummy doesn’t put any sesame seeds on top.

Its a misconception that making Naan bread is really hard and its best enjoyed at a restaurant but trust me, it’s actually the other-way around. Making Naan bread  at home is actually quite easy and you don’t need a tandoor either.

With no fancy gadget, this Garlic Naan can be made at home in a non stick skillet. You can make them as often as you would like and treat your family. Have you tried making some Naan bread Pizza at home with this Garlic Nan? They are super fantastic.
