Cilantro And Coriander Seed Naan Bread - cooking recipe
Ingredients
-
5 cups bread flour (or all purpose flour)
1 1/4 cups plain yogurt
1 teaspoon coriander seed
1 tablespoon fresh coriander
1/2 cup water
1 1/2 teaspoons dried yeast
1 tablespoon salt
2 tablespoons vegetable oil, plus extra for brushing
3 sprigs cilantro (to garnish)
Preparation
-
Dry roast the seeds until aromatic.
Crush them coarsely using a Mortar and pestle, or use that coffee grinder that has been lying around unused for a while now :).
Put them into a pan with the water and bring it to a boil. Set aside.
Put the yogurt into another bowl, add the yeast. Pour the seeds+water mixture and stir well.
Add 1-1/2 cups of flour and stir it well until blended. Cover the bowl and let it prove for 30minutes.
Then add the salt, oil and the remaining flour. Knead it well on a lightly floured surface until smooth and place it back in the bowl. Cover it and let it double - approx 1 hour.
Then punch it down, turn it down on a lightly floured surface and slowly add in the chopped cilantro into the dough.
Divide the dough into small balls and then using a rolling pin, roll it out into oblong shapes.
On a skillet, place the naan, brush it with little oil.
once its done on one side, turn it the other side.
