My husband and I now love the flavour of Indian cuisine. Above all, the dishes are also very good for us - which is why a slightly more exotic smell now often wafts through our four walls 🙂

Our latest summer favourite: warm naan bread with a fresh dip and salad!

Best enjoyed warm straight away! But the loaves still taste great the next day if you store them in a Tupperware container, for example.

Good yeast dough needs to be left to rise = allow time for preparation

As good old yeast is used here, you should plan for a total preparation time of around 2 hours. You don't really have to do much of this, but the yeast dough needs its time so that the result is nice and fluffy.

Preparation time: approx. 20 min

Walking time: 60 + 30 min

Baking time in the pan: 2-3 min per loaf

Ingredients for 4-6 portions

1/2 sachet dry yeast
250 ml lukewarm water
450 g flour
1 tbsp sugar
1 tsp salt
3 tbsp plant-based drink (e.g. soya drink, rice drink, etc.)

Preparation

Dissolve the dry yeast in the lukewarm water and leave to stand for 10 minutes. Meanwhile, mix the flour with the sugar, salt and spices and make a well.

Once the yeast has started to rise, pour it into the hollow with the vegetable drink and gradually mix in the flour. Then knead with your hands until you have a soft, light dough.

Cover the dough with a damp kitchen towel and leave to rise for 1 hour, protected from draughts, until it has doubled in volume. Then divide the dough into golf ball-sized pieces and leave to rest for a further 30 minutes.

Roll out the dough balls thinly and fry in a well-coated pan on a high heat for 2 - 3 minutes without oil or fat on both sides until bubbles form and the patties are lightly browned.

Enjoy your meal!

Your Katinka
