Preparation
-
1.In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, yogurt, baking powder, salt, and oil for the naan. Mix well.
-
2.Gradually add water and knead the dough until it becomes soft and pliable. Cover the dough and let it rest for 30 minutes.
-
3.In a separate pan, heat oil and add cumin seeds. Once they splutter, add the chopped onions and green chilies. Sauté until the onions turn golden brown.
-
4.Add the mashed potatoes, coriander powder, garam masala, and salt to the pan. Mix well and cook for a few minutes until the flavors blend together. Remove from heat and let the filling cool.
-
5.Divide the naan dough into small balls. Take one ball and roll it into a small circle. Place a spoonful of the potato filling in the center and seal the edges to form a stuffed ball.
-
6.Roll out the stuffed ball into a slightly thick oval-shaped naan.
-
7.Heat a griddle or tandoor over medium-high heat. Place the naan on the hot surface and cook until it puffs up and develops golden brown spots on both sides.
-
8.Remove the naan from the heat and crush it gently with your hands to create the "chur chur" texture.
-
9.Repeat the process with the remaining dough and filling.
-
10.Serve the Chur Chur Naan hot with your choice of pickle, yogurt, or chutney.
Treat your ingredients with care...
- Potatoes — Make sure to boil the potatoes until they are soft and easily mashable. This will ensure a smooth and creamy texture for the filling.
- Cumin seeds — Toasting the cumin seeds before adding them to the filling will enhance their aroma and flavor.
Tips & Tricks
- For a spicier filling, add finely chopped green chilies or red chili powder according to your taste preference.
- Brushing the naan with melted butter or ghee after cooking will add a rich and glossy finish.
- If you don't have a griddle or tandoor, you can cook the naan on a hot non-stick pan or in the oven.
Serving advice
Serve the Chur Chur Naan hot off the griddle to enjoy its crispy texture. Accompany it with a side of tangy pickle, cooling yogurt, or flavorful chutney for a complete and satisfying meal.
Presentation advice
Arrange the crushed Chur Chur Naan on a platter, allowing the golden brown spots to be visible. Garnish with fresh coriander leaves for a pop of color. Serve with small bowls of pickle, yogurt, and chutney on the side.
