in the spirit of diy and corporate defiance, i made my own fresh and hot naan on the bbq (that's indian bread and not anything else, pervs).
i followed this overly-joyous chef's norecipe guidelines:
[the colourful chef sanjay from www.vahrehvah.com!]
unlike my east indian neighours, i don't own a tandoor and would probably burn my place down if used one, but the bbq generates enough heat to imitate one. paired with a pizza stone and you've got finger-lickin' naan at your fingertips (as long as you don't put your hands in the bbq while they're cooking)!
tips: make sure the bbq is hot -- at least 500F (~260C). pop them in on a baking sheet or on the hot pizza stone and keep the bbq closed until you're ready to flip it, which should be about after 2 minutes. (oryou can also follow in chef sanjay's advice and use a piping-hot oven).

I've been looking for a way to do this. Glad you've vetted one.
ReplyDeleteI can't wait to try it out this weekend!
Your Indian neighbors have tandoors in their homes? That's awesome. But hey, this is fun too. As long as it tastes good! :-)
ReplyDeletesome of my neighbours have precarious makeshift tandoors outside, and if i threw a stone, it might hit a neighbour with an indoor tandoor. tasting good is what's important!
