Ingredients:
| Quantity | Ingredient |
|---|---|
| 4 cups | Flour |
| 1 | Egg |
| 10 cups | Milk |
| 3 tsp | Salt |
| 1 tbsp | Poppy seeds |
| 1 tbsp | Anise seeds |
| 1 tbsp | Ghee |
| – | Butter |
Instructions:
-
Prepare Khameer: Begin by making the khameer one night before. This allows it to ferment properly, enhancing the flavor of the naan.
-
Prepare Dough: Sieve the flour and salt into a large mixing bowl. Add the anise seeds and butter to the flour mixture. Mix well to incorporate all the ingredients evenly.
-
Combine Wet Ingredients: Gradually add the egg, warm milk, and khameer to the flour mixture. Knead the dough thoroughly until it becomes smooth and elastic.
-
Let Dough Rest: Cover the dough with a clean kitchen towel and leave it in a warm place to rise for approximately 2 hours. This allows the dough to ferment and develop flavor.
-
Divide Dough: Once the dough has risen, divide it into 10 equal parts.
-
Shape Naan: Take each portion of dough and shape it into a ball using a little dry flour to prevent sticking. Cover the balls and let them rest for 15 minutes.
-
Flatten Dough: Flatten each dough ball into a pancake shape by gently tossing it from one hand to the other. Gradually pull one side of the pancake to create a triangular or oval shape.
-
Add Toppings: Brush one side of the naan with ghee and sprinkle poppy seeds over it. Moisten the other side with a little warm water.
-
Cook Naan: If using a clay oven (tandoor), stick the moistened side of the naan to the hot wall of the oven. Alternatively, if using a griddle, place the naan moistened side down on a hot griddle. Cook until the bottom surface is lightly browned, then flip the griddle over direct heat to cook the top surface.
-
Serve: Once the naan is cooked through and has a golden brown color, remove it from the heat. Serve hot with your favorite barbecued dish or any other accompaniment of your choice.
Enjoy the delicious flavors of homemade Khameera Naan with your family and friends! 🍞🌟
