Peshawari Naan

🇮🇳 Indian

Sweet-stuffed Peshawari naan, dry fruit dessert-bread. Rolled, rested and flame-kissed — the real thing. Pile in a basket lined with cloth and let everyone grab.

Prep 22 min Cook 21 min Serves 3 Medium

Ingredients

  • Saltto taste
  • Ghee2 tbsp
  • All-Purpose Flour2 cups
  • Golden Raisins2 tbsp
  • Almonds1/4 cup, blanched and slivered
  • Coconut1/2, grated

Instructions

  1. 1

    Bring the dough together with lukewarm water, then knead hard — soft dough makes soft bread, no shortcuts.

  2. 2

    Cover and rest; use this time to make the filling or get the pan hot.

  3. 3

    Shape each ball, flatten, and either roll plain or enclose a spoonful of filling and roll with the seam down.

  4. 4

    Slap onto the hot tawa; when dark spots appear, flip and press at the edges with a cloth till it balloons.

  5. 5

    Slather with ghee, wrap in a clean cloth, and carry to the table warm.

Chef's tip

Taste as you go — chili heat, salt and sourness should all lift each other, not fight.
