Healthy Hints
More wholemeal flour means more fibre and whole grains. Experiment with greater amounts of wholemeal flour compared to white flour – you may even enjoy brown naan. Get children into the habit of enjoying whole grains so they get used to eating higher fibre foods. Whole grains have been shown to be heart-protective when taken as part of a balanced lifestyle.
Cooking Guide
1. Mix the flours with the milk and enough water to form a soft dough.
2. Knead well, then cover and leave the dough to rise in a warm place for 30 minutes.
3. Divide the dough into 10 balls, roll out to the desired shape and cook on a pan over a medium heat. Fluff up each naan over direct heat, just like a chapati. Keep the cooked naans warm in foil while you cook the others.
Tip: Serve these naans instead of deep-fried bhaturas.
