Naan Recipe Without Yeast, How To Make Naan On Stove Top (2024)

January 03, 2015

Naan without yeast recipe: Naan can be made without oven, naan on stove top is a boon to those who do not have an oven especially for bachelors and students.

Butter naan can be made on stove top, just the way I make tandoori roti on stove top; and very easy too. The best thing about no-yeast naan is they remain soft even while still warm; so when I plan butter naan and paneer matar curry for dinner (mostly on weekends) I make naan in the afternoon and place it on my casserole covered with a clean kitchen towel....and it stays soft till I serve and I only reheat paneer matar.

Naan is mixed with flour and water (you can also use milk instead of water) and a bit of baking soda and baking power does the trick. Once you knead it into a soft pliable dough allow it to rest for a couple of hours. Ofcourse it does not "double up" like a yeasted dough but it does puff up a bit.

I hope you will try this easy naan, which you can make on the stove top.

Step by step recipes:
Into a bowl, add in 2 cups of whole wheat flour (atta) and 1/2 cup of maida and 1/2 tsp salt. Mix well. Make a well and add in 3 tbsp curs, 2 tbsp oil, 1/2 tsp baking powder, and 1/4 tsp baking soda, mix well with a spoon.

Add in water (you can also use milk) and knead it into a soft dough. I kneaded it on my counter top for 2 mins. Keep it covered with a damp cloth in a warm place for 1.5 hours

You can see the dough has risen a little. Divide and roll into 9 balls (slightly larger than roti/chappathi).

Heat a tawa with handle. Roll out into your desired shape (I made it into a teardrop shape), do not make the dough too thin slightly thick like tandoori roti. Brush water on one side of the naan.

And place the water side naan on the hot tawa, raise the heat to high and let it stay for a few seconds; not longer because the heat will release the dough from the pan. We need the dough to be sticked on to the pan, so a few seconds would be fine..
With the flame still on high, turn the tawa upside down; since the dough is sticked to the tawa it will not fall down and hence we can cook the other side over the flame. Decrease and increase the flame as needed, tilting and moving the tawa. (Do not use a nonstick pan).

Place the tawa on the flame again for a few seconds so that the (watered side) is cooked perfectly. Remove from tawa and place it on a kitchen towel; brush with butter. Repeat the same with the rest. See notes for TIPS.

Pidiyum kozhiyum or kottayam style pidi is a traditional knanaya cuisine ; these rice dumpling have a thick gravy like sauce, unlike the dry versions of Malabar kakka roti or kozhi pidi. Knanaya style pidi is served with varutharacha kozhi curry. Traditionally, pidi is associated with baby shower ie when the daughter-in-law is sent to her parents house for delivery, it is customary for the mother-in-law to make kozhi pidi and we knanaya people still follow these traditions. My main aim is to preserve this recipe; so that the future generations can enjoy this wholesome dish. Pidi is rice dumplings which is simmered in water along with shallots, garlic, curry leaves, and coriander seeds; but I have used coriander powder instead to make the whole process easy.

I have made a video recipe and I hope this you help
