Tandoori Paneer Naan is a popular Indian flatbread, traditionally made in a tandoor (clay oven). It reflects the rich culinary heritage of North India, where naan is often paired with various curries. This dish celebrates the flavors of marinated paneer, making it a favorite among vegetarians.

paneer

🥗Healthier: tofu

💰Cheaper: ricotta

yogurt

🥗Healthier: Greek yogurt

💰Cheaper: buttermilk

Greek yogurt adds creaminess while reducing calories.

butter

🥗Healthier: olive oil

💰Cheaper: margarine

Olive oil is healthier and can be used for brushing.

all-purpose flour

🥗Healthier: whole wheat flour

Whole wheat flour adds fiber and nutrients.

1

Take 2 cups of all-purpose flour in a mixing bowl.

2

Add 1 teaspoon of sugar, slightly more than 0.5 teaspoon of salt, and 0.5 teaspoon of baking soda to the flour.

3

Add 2 tablespoons of refined oil to the mixture.

4

Add 100 grams of yogurt and mix well.

5

Gradually add warm water to form a soft dough, kneading until it is smooth and not sticky.

6

Add a little more oil to the dough and knead again.

7

Cover the dough with a cloth and let it rest at room temperature for 1 hour.

8

After 1 hour, knead the dough again lightly and dust with flour to prevent stickiness.

9

Divide the dough into medium-sized balls, covering them with a cloth to prevent drying out.

10

Grate 150 grams of paneer into a bowl.

11

Add red chili powder, black pepper powder, and chopped fresh coriander leaves to the grated paneer and mix well to prepare the stuffing.

12

Roll out a dough ball into a flat circle, place the paneer stuffing in the center, and fold the edges over the filling to seal it.

13

Gently roll it out again to flatten it without tearing.

14

Optionally, sprinkle kalonji (nigella seeds) on top before rolling it out.

15

Press the top with water to help it stick to the tawa (griddle).

16

Heat the tawa on medium flame for 5 minutes before placing the naan on it.

17

Cook the naan on medium heat, flipping it occasionally until it is cooked through and slightly charred.

18

Once cooked, brush the naan with butter and serve warm.
