Naan( without tandoor) Making Made Easier

[hazeenajaseef]

great idea sirji!!!!!!!!!

[gtulsi]

@slightgreen...chk out madhura94's naan recipe...she made it yeast free.....good recipe

[TheGirlinl0ve]

the guy at the end hahahaha he made me dance xD

[meriemdz1]

O.o

[slightgreen]

hope to eat NAAN without using yeast....... because of my illness.....

[oldernwiser0]

@slightgreen sorry to know that your illness prevents you from using yeast,, wish you could recover soon /somehow ! and btw, you could use buttermilk + milk and leave for a longer period to ferment, say upto 12 hrs depending upon the ambient temperature, do give it a try .. cheers !

[mechatronics89]

why was ur naan like a papad?

[irmar]

OK for those of you who are too lazy to search for a recipe on the web, here are the ingredients:1 teaspoon active dry yeast

3/4cup lukewarm water

2 cups all purpose flour (maida)

1 teaspoon salt

1 teaspoon sugar

21/2 tablespoons yogurt (curd)

2 tablespoons oil for hands 1/4 cup all purpose flour for rolling

1 teaspoon clear butter or ghee for brushing the naans when done

[pathu32]

it is so much easier to just put the naan on a pizza stone in the oven on the highest rack and cook under the broiler! It takes less than 30 seconds to cook each naan that way

[apopkasss]

its a nice trick but please cut your nails. how can you feed others or yourself with nails that long.

[1beastgirl]

Hagan lmfao @ da end it was soooooooo weird

[ashishdelguy2009]

what an absurd idea to cook naan, instead one should go out in a local dhaba and buy it for Rs 10, much easier, sheer waste of time and energy!!!...........ridiculous

[irmar]

@ashishdelguy2009 Not everybody has what you call a local dhaba nearby. And then why buy readymade food when you can make your own, knowing the quality of ingredients, making your variety of choice (with fillings etc...) and adding the most important ingredient of all, love for what you are doing and love for those you are cooking for.

[yomeroyomero]

Single much?

[ChrizCee012]

He didnt show how to make dough. and I heard a gun shot in the back at 3:20.

AFRAID.........

[izabela1108]

cant understand a single word!!!

[KiNgJuLiAn04]

i like the idea but its really hard to understand what you are saying.could u please tell the quantity of ingredients tht u have taken.

[chrismax01]

I cant understand one word he'S SAYING

[utfsal]

Very cool idea, here is what I do: Preheat a nonstick pan and put the naan on it for about 10 to 15 seconds - just long enough for the dough to skin over and start bubbling. Then, take it out of the pan and place it directly on the burner (where the pan was just sitting) -it's best to NOT center it. Rotate the naan about every 3 seconds till almost done, flip over and finish cooking on the second side.

Cooks in about a minute or less. For gas ranges only!

[oldernwiser0]

@utfsal thanks for sharing your method;  i've tried that method, it definately works faster, but i'm always scared of the naan getting entangled in the grill ...cheers !

[limyatango]

Thanks for sharing

[GARRYKINGLIVE]

Why not just use a grill, i guess this is handy if one doesnt have a grill

[angelicinspirations]

@GARRYKINGLIVE I have tried making naan under the grill and in the oven and the way it is done here is the best I've ever tried. I use a much flatter pan than oldernwiser uses here

[NatUresFuries]

Great tip but seems like it takes forever. What kind of pan do you recommend? Will nonstick work or only metal pans. If metal, how thick ?

[locknez1munster]

What the hell did you just say!?!

[ssg279]

its seemed more like chappati thn naan. naan shouldnt be sooo crunchy sounding.

[mikalhassan]

wtf in the end lol

[strawalker]

Neat

[dadunasrin]

thanks .very useful

[sanamji2]

Thanxx 4 da idea i hav used it works gr8 but i cook it on high heat ..comes out perfect and fluffy.

[kyoum1]

nice! but you are an expert and it looks very difficult! to cook...LOL

[oldernwiser0]

thanks, i wish i could accept being called "expert", but no, i'm not, and this is "made easier " method of making dishes ! do try it ! i have struggled to make this method work, and am sure it will work for any one ! all the best ! cheers ! :-)

[paddythetinker]

i like my naan a bit thicker, this seemed to thin

[oldernwiser0]

thick or thin, large or small are personal preferences that can be accomodated in this method of making the naan; some people have specially flavoured /composited dough for their naan to make soft naans etc; the point of this video is to show how you could make the naan without the use of a traditional tandoor ( a furnace ) cheers ! :-)

[gustercc]

@paddythetinker who cares how you like it! If you can't figure out that you can adjust the thickness yourself, stick with a bowl of cereal. Geez. Give the guy some credit for trying to help us novices. It looked Delicious!

[PerchiperRhea]

Isn't maida some type of special flour to make indian bread? I don't think I have it. Just a regular white flour. And roti, is that an indian word for bread?

[oldernwiser0]

maida is the gluten portion of wheat flour and is sold as "all purpose flour " in the usa. with just plain white flour you can make tandoori roti, which is also good, but not naan. roti, is a generic name of a class of indian flat breads, essentially it is a flour ( could be wheat, jowar, corn, any food grain ) made into a dough, flattened with a rolling pin and fried on a griddle with a little oil or even dry. There are a lot of variations in this. roti is not bread. cheers :-)

[nchutiger]

Very good idea......Thanks

[oldernwiser0]

am glad you looked it as an idea and am sure will be able to develop your own method to your satisfaction ! cheers ! :-)

[gavachasd]

I love Naan!!!!!

[gavachasd]

Curd, what is this curd? can I make it? can I buy it? :((

[oldernwiser0]

curd is yougurt, but the ones you buy are not useful here because the bacteria in them are deactivated somehow; yes, you can make them at your home, by adding about 1 table spoon of home made yogurt in about 1 liter of milk and leaving it in a warm place say 40degrees Centigrade overnight and you can get started by getting some home made curd from some southindian friend of yours ( they usually have this ) all the best and cheers ! :-)

[lemmingwilgje]

That sounds like kefir.. would buttermilk be an alternative?

[oldernwiser0]

i dont know what kefir is, but yes, buttermilk would be an alternative, but the best alternative would be dried yeast if you have no problems with using it ( some people dont like the smell of dried yeast ) cheers ! :-)

[RC1990]

thakyou so much for this technique

[OpT1mU5PrYm3]

This is cool. I usually use the oven - always come out wrong somehow. Definitely gonna try this. Good man!

[oldernwiser0]

it will definitely work out well, and i'm presuming you have a gas connection in the kitchen rather than electric stoves, ( it wont work well on electric heaters ) cheers ! :-)

[girleye]

no!opT1,don't try this, it is too slow, use the oven is the best

[iggineojude]

thank you for this easiest new idea.......... im going to try today........

[userss00]

i love this idea-i am gonna try this. before my naans came out so hard--i hope they turn out well!! thanks!!!

[oldernwiser0]

i'm sure you'll master it quite soon .. and to make it softer you can dispense with the rolling pin, pat the dough flat with your hands only and let it be thick ! all the best ! cheers ! :-)

[wasafiassi]

how come the bread doesn't fall

[oldernwiser0]

because the dough is made wet with a thin layer of water it clings/ sticks to the pan till the bread cooks fully, after it is baked fully, then it falls off on its own,( be sure to catch if before it hits the flames !) or can be easily taken off the pan ... :-)

[wasafiassi]

how come the bread doesn't fall?

[wynrol]

Fantastci idea - I tried it in a large aluminium pan and they turned out perfectly. Also, managed to make smaller Peshwari naans' as well.

Many thanks for sharing this novel idea.

[oldernwiser0]

am really glad for you that it worked out so well ! cheers ! :-)

[chirpysang]

hello sir.. thats a gr8 way to show it.. taht also makin naan at home...good.. but i gotta have a proper vessel to make it.. all i have is non sticks.. :( ... though i have astainless steel copper bottom kadhai ..will that do...?

keep up the good work!

[oldernwiser0]

thank you for your kind comments .. . i would strongly discourage you from trying with a kadai .. i had a disastrous experience when i tried with it, or with anything other than an aluminum tava...in fact, if you must try, do try with a non stick tava, except you cant ( of course ! ) turn over the tava, you'll have to turn over the naan on the tava .. which will work not too bad ... all the best ! cheers !

[ddruff]

You are a kind and polite person.

Your style is refreshing when considering the usual rudeness encountered on youtube.

You must be a happy person.

[oldernwiser0]

thank you for your very kind remarks ! but i have also come across a very large number of kind and encouraging people here on youtube, and i cherish them .. and you yourself are an example of such people as i cherish ! cheers !:-)

[yasminshayesta]

works well thanks

[b1iuzw39]

naan`s are much bigger than that little roti sized naan it`s usually 1 and a half to 2 feat long if you cook it in a tandoor

[oldernwiser0]

yes, commercially made naans are that big and are made in furnaces called bhatties,..unfortunately you can't have bhatties in homes, and if you want to have naans made at home you have to sacrifice on the size.. what i have shown here is as an example - with the use of a tandoor - and one could use a bigger griddle to make a bigger one if they so choose.. :-)

[b1iuzw39]

sorry i was bit drunk when i wrote that

[oldernwiser0]

:-)

[amir0066]

sorry mate but i think the peshaweri naan is much nicer.Maybe you should get some tips of them.

[oldernwiser0]

ah, i'm sure that when i decide to make the best naans in the world, i would go by your suggestion, maybe even visit Peshawar and learn ! but then, this video is to share my knowledge of one easier method of making naans at home, without the use of traditional furnaces ( bhatties ) ...sometimes one has to settle for less than the best, when gaining in convenience ... thanks for commenting ! cheers ! :-)

[powerplantop]

I will have to try this.

[sachininthetube]

i liked your simple technique. will try out.

[oldernwiser0]

i'm quite sure you will like the outcome.. only be sure you get the dough right ! and in case you need to know about the dough mixing, see my other video on making naan since making the dough right is the most important step.. all the best ! :)

[ASOU7]

Japan is the country where prices are the world's highest. Most of the wheat flour imports it, too. It is one piece of naan =300 yen in Japan. Two people can live one cup of stomach in India if they have it of 300 yen. I ate India food four times this week. I ate with a child today. It is 3,300 yen with three people. 3,300 yen are large sum of money in the foreign country.

[oldernwiser0]

thanks for letting me know .. it changes my perspective of things, i always thought that wheat and rice are universally available at reasonable prices every where in the world.. i now see a different view ..:)

[eggman6]

Those prices dont seem that far off what you'd expect in the UK, the naan is a bit cheaper here. If everyone had starters you'd easily be looking at over 4500 yen/£33, and thats for a takeaway, if you went to a proper Indian restuarant you could be looking at more.

But making nan yourself wouldn't cost you much here.

[ASOU7]

┌─────┐

│ 富士山

└∩───∩┘　ヽ(`･ω･´)ﾉ The naan is the world's most delicious carbohydrates! ! I want to eat every day. But it is ... to cost money to eat naan in Japan

[oldernwiser0]

ever since i discovered this method of making naan, i have switched over to naan for my everyday food,,, more than about one year now and am happy .. but why is it costly in Japan ? is it the cost of the all purpose flour ? the yeast ? because that is almost all you need in this method .. please do let me know, i'm very curious ..:)

[christentze]

i love indian food, especially naan! :D im really much of a bread person. i love the curries i've tried, too, but sometimes they're a little too spicy for me, so i just eat slowly. but, YUM!

[gezzad]

That is very good - And the comment from kaashee - the noise you hear is from the utensil not the naan Kaashee

[kaashee]

im sorry but that naan is

a) not the right consistency

b) not meant to make a noise similar to a rock when it hits metal.

[oldernwiser0]

actually this video was made in a hurry ( dont remember why i was in a hurry ), and was more to illustrate the point of making the naan without a tandoor, the actual results are much better than what appears in the video .. will be posting a better video some time

[oldernwiser0]

i have today posted a new video on making naan without tandoor which i think you might find ok ..just let me know ..btw.. the noise it makes "similar to a rock when it hits metal " is unavoidable to some extent when the naan is made crisp ...

[catman72]

this is ingenious!

did you come up with it or is it done like this in people's homes outside india?

this means i can make our local pitta bread like this (almost similar, except no curd in the dough)

[oldernwiser0]

yes .. i haven't seen anybody else do it this way .. and have tried with stainless steel ( wont work, low specific heat ) and with burnt clay lids ( works best, but you may not get it in other countries ), with electric oven ( dont do it !), micro wave ( no no ) and even gauze ...( wont be naan ) let me know ( dont know abt pitta bread, sorry )

[trupkar]

wow...what an innovative way to make Naan!

thanks!!!!

[oldernwiser0]

you're welcome !
