Whole Wheat Palak Naan Recipe

Step 1: To begin making the Whole Wheat Palak Naan, first add the flour, palak, salt, sugar, baking soda, oil into a mixing bowl and combine

Step 2: Make a well in the center and all curd and begin to knead the dough together

Step 3: Work it until it is a smooth dough dough

Step 4: Add water if needed so make it a soft and slightly sticky dough

Step 5: Do not be tempted to add more flour, the dough needs to be on the wetter/stickier side

Step 6: Rub oil all over the dough, cover and let it rest for about 30 minutes

Step 7: When ready to make the naans, divide the dough into 6-8 equal parts

Step 8: Taking each portion at a time, dust a little flour if needed to roll and using a rolling pin or fingers, press the portion out into a thick, flat disc shaped like a naan

Step 9: Rub water over the rolled out naan and sprinkle sesame seeds, kalonji seeds, and finely chopped palak leaves

Step 10: Place a skillet on the heat and when it is warm enough, place the rolled naan over a hot tawa with the side sprinkled with kalonji facing the top

Step 11: Cover and cook for about a minute on medium low flame

Step 12: Now lift the tawa off the heat and flip the naan over, directly on to the heat

Step 13: This ensures you get a charred smoky flavor to the naan, mimicking the tandoori flavour

Step 14: Once done, take the naan off the heat/tawa and rub with ghee

Step 15: Repeat with rest of the dough and serve hot naans with Mushroom Pasanda or Green Moong Dal Makhani
