Ingredients
 
 

For the Naan Bread

  • 150 ml Milk
  • 2 tsp Caster Sugar
  • 2 tsp Dried Yeast
  • 450 g Plain Flour
  • 0.5 tsp Salt
  • 1 tsp Baking Powder
  • 2 tbsp Vegetable Oil
  • 150 ml Natural Plain Yoghurt
  • 30 g Butter, to coat

For the Peshwari Filling

  • 2 tbsp Desiccated Coconut
  • 2 tbsp Sugar
  • 100 g Ground Almonds
  • 2 tbsp Coconut Milk
  • 70 g Sultanas

Instructions

  • Warm the milk until hand hot, add the sugar and yeast and allow to sit for 20 minutes until frothy.
  • Mix the flour, salt and baking powder in a separate bowl.
  • Once the milk mixture is ready add to the flour along with the oil and yoghurt, mix to form a dough and knead for 10 minutes.
  • Place the dough in a oiled bowl, cover with a tea towel and leave in a warm place to rise for 1 hour until it's doubled in size.
  • Preheat the oven to 200C (180C fan assisted).
  • Knead the dough again to remove the air and divide into 6.
  • Place the peshwari filling in a food processor and mix to form a dry paste.
  • Take each piece of dough and form a circle with a dent in the middle, add a small amount of the peshwari mixture into the dent and close the dough around it into a ball.
  • Roll the dough into a teardrop shape.
  • Bake in the oven for 3- 4 minutes.
  • Take the naans out and place under a grill to brown, brush the surface with butter and serve.
