of Sikanjbeen and Naans .anyone ?
Re: Need recipes
You need recipe for Shikanjabeen?? :@:
In a jug of cold water squeeze lemons over a chalni so you catch all the seeds but the chalni needs to be submerged within the water and the lemons should be squeezed in the water.
Add a pinch of salt to that and thats your Shikanjabeen.
For the authentic look you can add the pulp from the chalni to the water later minus the seeds, some ppl dont like the pulp though.
Re: Need recipes
NO sugar Adraa?
I even like a little bit of black pepper in mine
Re: Need recipes
Oh yeah, a pinch of sugar too but not too much.
Never had it with black pepper, though I do add heaps of black pepper to apple, anar and orange juice
Re: Need recipes
For naans, you need a tandoori...right...
Re: Need recipes
no tandoor needed. all u need is an ovn with broiling option or then a gas stove. i made some past weekend and they were awesome. I will come bac kwit hthe recipe.
Re: Need recipes
i have been looking for a tried and tested naan recipe...will really appreciate it femme....:)
Re: Need recipes
here we go
3 cups all purpose flour
1tsp (somewhat heaped) yeast
1 tbsp sugar
1 tbsp salt
1 tbsp oil
about 3/4 cups of milk and about half a cup of water, both warm, You want to make ur yeast all bubbly by mixing it in warm water and sugar. Add the oil and salt to the flour and rub the oil in. then started mixing the dough with the milk/water mixture. if you need more liquid add more water but i think this much should be ok. Its ok if ur dough is very sticky and dheela. just leave it covered for in a warm temp till it rises. then just take some dough and shape it into a ball. i did not roll the naan out with a rollingpin but just did it all with hands. lay ur naan on a baking tray and pop them in the oven on broil. put the tray on the highest shelf. u barely need to bake them for two mins, keep an eye on them. once they get red on top which again doesnt take more than two mins u flip them over for a bit just to get the bottom part a little gold too and voila ur done!
Re: Need recipes
^thanks a load femme....:)
might sound like a weird question but does the type of oven make any difference...i mean electric or gas oven...??
and another thing,any special recommendation for yeast...??
Re: Need recipes
i have an electric oven and they turned out fine. if electric does a good job im sure gas definitely will.
i used the fleischman dry active yeast available at all food stores.
Re: Need recipes
thankoooooo femme....!!
i have an electric oven too...and the same brand of yeast...:D
Re: Need recipes
good luck :D im sure they'll turn out flawless :) dont be afraid to use the rolling pin either, just don;t roll it out too thin.
Re: Need recipes
Thank you Femme and Adrasteia.

How long u leave this batter to rise? And after baking do u brush this with butter to stay soft??
Re: Need recipes
I leave it overnight at room temp. i think 3-4 hours should d othe job too. i have been having them for breakfast so yes I do put some butter on top.

yeast wud be mixed with half cup of warm water and 1tsbp sugar right? then again half cup of water is needed alongwith milk to knead the dough? plz clarify !
Re: Need recipes
. put the tray on the highest shelf.
FF may sound like a bonga question but should we turn on both upper and lower grills or just one of them?

dear masi...only the upper grill wud be turned on..she said that once the upper side of nan is cooked then we have to change its side in order to get it cooked from the bottom as well:)

yes, that half a cup of water turns all foamy once the yeast rises so it doesn;t do much to mix the dough anyway. so once u mix in the yeast mixture u use additional water and milk to knead the dough.

When u set the oven to broil only the top grill comes on :)
ALso girls with the yeast just gently shake off excess yeast from the teaspoon, do not level it. I use measuring spoons and cups for all ingredients.
