Ingredients

  • 100 g almond flour
  • 100 g cassava flour
  • 1 teaspoon black onion seeds
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon sugar
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 30 g butter melted
  • 90 g natural yoghurt
  • 1 egg lightly beaten
  • 1 tablespoon fresh coriander chopped finely

Instructions

  • Whisk together the flours, onion seeds, salt, sugar and baking powder in a large mixing bowl.
  • Add half of the melted butter to the flour mix with the yoghurt and egg.
  • Bring the dough together with your hands and knead into a smooth ball.
  • Wrap the dough in cling film and leave for 30 minutes on the side in your kitchen.
  • Heat up a wide flat bottomed pan.
  • Divide the dough into 4 then roll each out into a teardrop shape. Roll the dough in between two sheets of cling film, shaping and patting to repair any tears.
  • Heat each naan in the hot dry pan for about 45 second - 1 minute on each side or until brown spots start to appear underneath.
  • Brush the naan breads with the rest of the melted butter and sprinkle with coriander. Serve immediately.

Notes

  • This recipe was developed using medium sized eggs.
  • You can make this recipe dairy-free by swapping the melted butter for coconut oil and the natural yoghurt for coconut yoghurt.
  • The 30 minute resting time is not essential but it does help the flours to settle together and create a more cohesive dough to roll out.
  • Since the dough is susceptible to cracking and tearing then best results are achieved rolling the dough out in between two sheet of cling film.
  • The naan breads don’t keep well and are best eaten straightaway.
