Ingredients
Ingredients
- 1 cup cottage cheese
- 1 cup self-rising flour (or 1 cup all-purpose flour & 1 teaspoon baking powder)
- ½ teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Combine Ingredients: In a bowl, combine the cottage cheese, flour, and salt. Stir until a soft dough comes together, ensuring all ingredients are evenly incorporated.
- Knead Dough: Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead gently for about a minute, just until smooth to develop a tender texture.
- Divide Dough: Divide the dough into 4 equal pieces for individual naan breads.
- Roll Out: Roll each piece out into a thin, round shape to resemble traditional naan bread.
- Heat Skillet: Heat a skillet over medium heat, preparing it for cooking the naan.
- Cook Naan: Cook each naan for 2–3 minutes per side, until golden spots form and the bread is cooked through, flipping carefully to avoid tearing.
Notes
- You can substitute self-rising flour with all-purpose flour and 1 teaspoon baking powder if self-rising is unavailable.
- For a richer flavor, you can brush the cooked naan with melted butter or garlic butter.
- This recipe makes 4 naan breads, perfect for serving alongside your favorite curry or stew.
- Ensure the skillet is properly heated to prevent the naan from becoming tough.
- Work gently when rolling and flipping to keep the naan soft and fluffy.
