 Naan & kulcha - Made with Yeast
Naan & Kulcha: Naan: Maida - 2 cups Curd - ¼ cup Milk - ¼ cup Sugar - 1 tsp Fresh yeast - 2 level tsp Baking powder - ½ tsp Cooking soda - ¼ tsp Salt - 1 tsp Ghee (or any fat ) - 2 tbsp Sieve all dry ingredients except sugar , together. In a cup , mix tepid milk , yeast , sugar & sprinkle a little flour on top. Cover & leave for 2 mtes. After 2 mtes mix sieved ingredients , yeast mixture , ghee & warmed milk . Without applying force , gather with fingers , the entire mixture to a soft pliable mass, adding little more warm milk , if necessary. Keep it in a tall vessel , covered with a wet cloth , till the volume doubles. Make even sized balls , roll into ¼ “ thick circle & pull one end to give the naan shape. Make naans , using a tandoor , if you have one. Or take an aluminium pan with handle ( like dosa pan ) – apply water to one side of the naan & stick it to pan. Keep closed on a medium flame – it will puff up. Turn the pan upside down , holding the handle when the other side will get cooked , as well. It will fall off , remove & apply butter. Or you can cook it like phulka. butter naan.JPG For kulcha: The same as above – omit milk , curd , soda , baking powder & 2 tsp oil is enough. Knead maida , salt , oil with yeast & sugar in tepid water. Allow to rise. Keep any of the following fillings & make like stuffed parathas. The shape is slightly oval. 1 – mixture of grated onions+salt+chopped grren chillies + chopped coriander leaves 2—crumbled paneer+the above 3—crumbled potaoes + masala of choice The photo of naan is given below.
