Frying Pan Naan Bread

Easy, tasty accompaniment to curry dishes

Heat the butter , milk , sugar and salad oil until the butter has melted and the milk is tepid.

Put the other ingredients together in a bowl and make a soft dough , pouring in the milk mixture to keep the dough soft.

Knead for 15- 20 minutes.

Cover the bowl loosely with a cloth and leave to rise in a warm place until doubled in size.

Split the dough into as many portions as you want and roll out into rounds and place on a floured tray near the cooker and keep covered.

Heat a heavy-based frying pan over moderately high heat.

Brush the pan with melted butter and toss the naan into the pan and let it fry for 2 minutes.

Meanwhile brush the top with more melted butter.

Turn the naan bread over and cook for a further 1 1 / 2 minutes.

Brush the cooked side with more butter.

When cooked place in tin foil to keep warm.

Keep in tin foil if you wish to freeze them.

Place in a moderate oven to heat through.

Cooking time of 4 minutes is for each naan bread , not total cooking time.
