That looks terrific!

I love naan bread. Mmmm. Lovely

We love naan in restaurants, DH is a good baker, and he got a cast iron skillet last year for his birthday, and I "borrowed" another from my mom's. We will try this!

I love naan and then look amazing.. I have been buying the stonefire brand whole wheat naan every once in awhile but I am sure they are nothing compared to your fresh-from-the-pan beauties!

Yum. I love naan from a restaurant but haven't found a commercial brand that I like. I'll have to try your recipe (appreciate the notes). My only cast iron is a dubuyers crepe pan. Wonder if that will work?

ETA: I used to have a great recipe for palak paneer that was very creamy. I lost it in the move. Does anyone have one? All the ones I've tried online have been too dry or a weird consistency.

Yum!!

Oh yum! If you aren't eating it w curry, are you eating it w hummus or doing something fusion?

I compared your recipe to the one i used in the NYT, and they are quite different! Yours has egg, mine does not. I am pretty sure we did not use egg when we made it there either. It looks a bit thicker than what we had. Maybe regional differences.

In your recipe, she says "Naan bread is an Indian-style bread usually baked in a tandoor oven, which are these cylindrical clay or metal ovens. The great thing about tandoor ovens is that the temperatures can reach 900 F degrees which means these naan breads cook almost instantly, though I don’t think I’d want to stick my hands in these ovens and slap the dough on the side of it." That was exactly what it was, a cylindrical metal oven about waist high (in the sand, outdoors). We all made the dough and rolled it, but I didn't want anyone putting their hand in the oven to "slap it on the side". DH did but the thing gave me a heart attack.

Here is the NYT recipe for comparison:

We eat ours with tzatziki.

Yum! I can see mini pizzas in my future!

Wow, thanks. Our store-bought naans are pretty good, but I will certainly try this.

We love curries but I got food poisoning the same day I ate curry we prepared last month (it wasn't the curry--it was something I ate at a holiday party that afternoon). So, now I have a big aversion to eating curry, which is unfortunate. Maybe I am finally at the point where I can try it again. :(

Thanks for posting this. I've tried it a couple of times with little success. Maybe a different recipe will help.

Those look great, jojoco! Will definitely try it. I was making an Indian meal the other day and was very frustrated that I couldn't find naan bread or garam masala at any local stores. And I'm in NYC, so I was really surprised. Guess I have to plan ahead next time and get on subway to get what I need. But I will def try to make the naan at home. Thanks!

I've found the oven light in my oven heats the oven perfectly for raising dough...just makes it warm and cozy but not too hot.

You naan bread looks fabulous!

I am testing a pita recipe this week, but would like to make a good naan also. I have wanted to try them both. Maybe this will help me get started on both. I do have a wood burning oven that will reach 900 degrees, but it doesn't have sides or an opening you could reach through when it is heated without risking serious injury and great regret.

Mtn, apparently naan will have milk or yogurt and may or may not have egg. Those with eggs will be richer and possibly softer (milk or yogurt will also make naan in general more tender than their pita cousins). My son's GF is Indian decent -- I wonder if her family prefers one or the other.

I love naan with palak paneer. I cannot get paneer or anything close anywhere near where I live. Making paneer is not going to happen in my life. So until paneer becomes the next big food craze, I have to forgo naan or I will start to get homesick for the big city and the great Indian restaurant near my former place of work in Bristol PA!

Jojoco, thank you so much for sharing this recipe. I printed it and the one for hummus that accompanies it. The site is so easy to use for printing recipes.

Those look great! I buy the frozen version at TJ's.

Arkansasgirl, they do make nice little pizzas.

Lpinkmountain, do you have a TJ's nearby? They have a pretty decent frozen palak paneer.

DH loves naan - I may have to try that when I have time to kill.

The nearest TJ's are well over and hour away. There is a gourmet food store in Battle Creek. I am going there this weekend, I'll have to look. They have a whole cheese ROOM which I love.

I can get palaak paneer sealed in an aseptic plastic package in the international food section of my local Meijers. Not surprisingly, it's not very good. I have made it from scratch using mild feta. It's good, but not the same dish. That's probably why I don't eat more naan, I don't have much of a knack for Indian curries. I keep trying though! In the past I have made chappatis but haven't tried naan. I'll bet it is fun! I made home made pizza on the grill once, that was fun!

Stop it, you’re making me crave naan bread again! Seriously, that looks so good, and I’ve been craving hummus and naan bread lately.

We have a restaurant here, Taziki’s, with really good salads and soups. My DD and DGD went the other day, and had some hummus and soft pita as a side dish to share. I was really wanting naan bread after that.

These products are actually very very good if you happen to have them at your grocer's (refrigerated section).

They look so good, Jojo, that I just had to make some flour tortillas to go with pinto bean soup, even though I have store bought in the fridge! I love Naan, but the soup was nearly ready and tortillas were quicker. ☺

I also generally prefer winter foods to summer, and winter clothes to summer clothes, because winter clothes are better at covering my preferences!!!! Not that i don't love summer and fresh garden fruits and veggies, you understand. I just like to eat!

We have tried TJ's curry sauces -- and even a butter chicken one we got at Target. I'd never had butter chicken before and we really liked it. I don't know if my opinion would change after having had others.

As long as we are in the neighborhood, this recipe is excellent. We've made it as written with shrimp, with pork and with chicken. I've also added a sliced zucchini, some peas -- I often add a veggie or two rather than make another dish. https://www.bonappetit.com/recipe/pumpkin-shrimp-curry

Love TJ's Thai Green Curry sauce. They've recently changed it though and I haven't tried it yet.

Mtn., I buy Maya Kaimal's shelf stable simmer sauces. Haven't seen the refrigerated version.

Our Costco sells a couple of the refrigerated Kaimal simmer sauces. I too like TJ's palak paneer and also their frozen naan, but then I like a crispier naan.

Wednesday it will be snowing so I'm making mulligatawny soup...think I'll try my hand at naan bread to go with it. Thanks for the inspiration!

Annie, I haven't made mulligatawny this year. I need to make that soon. Today's plan is tamales and chili --- we are hunkering in place with a good icing going on here. We haven't seen ice like this in decades. Brr.... All the hot and spicy things and any warm bread sound wonderful. Y'all stay warm!

jojoco, I just made this for the first time tonight. so good. thanks!

I did make the naan bread and it was very tasty. Only changes I'd make is to add a little more salt, and to divide the dough into smaller pieces...mine came out a little large and thick. But tasty nonetheless.

Annie, I sprinkled mine with coarse salt as it fried (I am a salt addict).
