Pressure Cooker! the most useful asset in the kitchen.Be it boiling, steaming, cooking, it comes very handy and most of all saves fuel. Recently I came across a very TASTY use of this whistling dude and without the whistle!
I made a kind of NAAN last night and I still have the residue of its taste in my tongue and mind. So if you are looking forward to some heavenly naan and don't have a tandoor (i don't have one), don't deprive yourself, head straight to your kitchen station and start the operation!
Naan without Tandoor
Ingredients:
Refined Flour (Maida) - 250 gm
Egg: 1
Yoghurt - 2 tbsp
Oil - 1 tbsp
Sugar - 1 tsp
Salt - 2 tsp
Soda - 1/2 tsp
Baking Powder - 1/2 tsp.
Little water if required
Method:
Sieve flour, soda and baking powder together. Now add all the above ingredient and make a firm dough using very little water if required. Cover the dough and let it rest in a warm place for more than an hour.
Take a pressure cooker, turn on the gas flame to its lowest and turn it upside down.
Meanwhile divide the dough into 6 balls, roll one ball using a rolling pin and oil. Now pierce with knife all over and apply some water. turn the pressure cooker in its normal position and stick the roti (water sprinkled side) inside the pressure cooker. Don't worry it wouldn't fall as you have applied water.
Let it be in the same position on the flame for 45 secs and now turn it upside down again for 30 secs. You will see brown spots on the upper surface. Now turn it back in normal position. Apply butter and sprinkle some sesame seeds. Now take it out using a flat spatula and tongs. Repeat the process and more naans
Apply more butter and serve with any semi gravy dish especially chhole or rajma.....yummmmmmm
Tip: Important
1. For making the next naan, once you have removed the previous one sprinkle some water, wipe it and again turn it upside down on flame (it reduces the heat and helps in sticking). Repeat the same for consecutive ones.
2. Don't roll the roti too big - only to the size of your pressure cooker bottom.
3. Try avoiding water while making a dough and could use more yoghurt.
