Ingredients
- 1 1/5 lb self‑rising flour
- 1 2/5 lb low‑fat cottage cheese
- 2 tbsp salt
- 3 tbsp garlic paste
Instructions
- 1Measure 550 g of self‑rising flour into a large mixing bowl.
- 2Add 2 tbsp of salt and 3 tbsp of garlic paste to the flour and whisk together to distribute the seasonings evenly.
- 3Crumble the 620 g of low‑fat cottage cheese into the bowl and begin mixing with a wooden spoon or spatula.
- 4Continue mixing until the mixture comes together into a smooth, pliable dough; if the dough feels too dry, add a splash of water, and if too sticky, sprinkle a little extra flour.
- 5Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead briefly (about 30 seconds) just to ensure uniform texture.
- 6Divide the dough into 24 equal portions (approximately 45 g each) and shape each portion into a smooth ball.
- 7Using a rolling pin, roll each ball into a thin circle about 15 cm (6 in) in diameter, keeping the surface lightly floured to prevent sticking.
- 8Preheat a non‑stick skillet over medium heat (about 356°F / 350°F).
- 9Place one rolled naan onto the hot skillet; cook for 1–2 minutes until the underside shows golden brown spots.
- 10Flip the naan and cook the other side for another 1–2 minutes, pressing gently with a spatula to encourage puffing.
- 11Transfer the cooked naan to a plate and cover loosely with foil to keep warm while you cook the remaining pieces.
- 12Repeat the cooking process with the remaining dough circles, adjusting the heat if the naan browns too quickly.
- 13Once all naan are cooked, let them cool for a couple of minutes before serving, or store them in an airtight container for meal‑prep.
- 14Serve warm with your favorite dips, curries, or use them as a low‑calorie wrap.
