Since
last few days I have been missing blogging very badly and when I looked in
drafts I was disappointed as there was no recipe to post and thats the reason why I posted some random
summer pictures last time...but I must say that it wasn’t satisfying as doing
a recipe post so I had to cook something specially for blogging. So after quick brainstorming here I am back to business with my tried and tested Naan recipe
! I have been making this for a long
long time now, and it’s very much appreciated by my friends and our small
family especially my lil boy. As soon as it comes out of the oven it goes straight
into our tummy and that’s why this recipe never found its way to my blog. The
trick for a good Naan is a very sticky dough which I learnt from Vahreh Vah
chef. This weekend we have been lazing around at home so I managed to take a
video with hubby’s help (though its not a prefect one ).
I
should tell you that photographing the pictures was quite challenging as my lil boy was behind my
lens waiting impatiently to grab one Naan, he even threatened me that if he is not
getting his share quicky he will eat my camera ! I hardly got few seconds to
shoot it, so pictures might not be appealing as it tasted but I assure you this
recipe is a keeper.
