Vegan Naan

Vegan Naan is a soft, pillowy flatbread that pairs perfectly with various Indian curries, offering a delightful taste of authentic Indian cuisine. This easy-to-make vegan version uses simple ingredients for a fluffy texture and rich flavor.

Ingredients

• All-purpose flour - 200 grams
• Baking powder - 1 teaspoon
• Salt - 1/2 teaspoon
• Plant-based yogurt - 100 grams
• Water - 60-80 ml
• Olive oil - 1 tablespoon
• Garlic - 2 cloves, minced
• Coriander leaves - for garnish

Steps

1. In a mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt.
2. Add the plant-based yogurt and olive oil to the dry ingredients and mix until crumbly.
3. Gradually add water, a little at a time, and knead the mixture into a soft, elastic dough.
4. Cover the dough with a damp cloth and let it rest for 15 minutes.
5. Divide the dough into 4 equal portions and roll each into a ball.
6. On a floured surface, roll out each ball into an oval shape, about 1/4 inch thick.
7. Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, place one naan in the skillet.
8. Cook for about 1-2 minutes until bubbles form on the surface, then flip and cook for another 1-2 minutes until golden brown.
9. Repeat for the remaining naan, adding minced garlic on top while cooking for extra flavor.
10. Garnish with chopped coriander leaves and serve warm.
