Homemade Whole Wheat Garlic Naan without yeast or egg. Already I have posted Naan using maida. This time I wanted to try with whole wheat flour/atta and it turned out well. It was so soft and remained soft for a very long time.
In almost all top notch restaurants Naan is made of maida. As Maida is not good for health, I replaced it with whole wheat flour. Again it is up to your preference, either you can use 1:1 maida and atta or can make naan with whole atta or whole maida. The method I showed here is very simple without using yeast or egg. Also, naan can be made very easily without a tandoor. A simple tawa will do this work in an awesome manner.

Make sure to follow these steps to get soft Naans.
- Make dough in soft consistency as we make for roti.
- It should be neither too stiff nor too soft.
- The dough should rest at least for 1-2 hours.
- In between, knead dough thoroughly twice or thrice.
- The more you knead, you get softer naans.
This Naan goes well with Kadai Chicken, Paneer Butter Masala, Butter Chicken. Now let us see how to prepare this Whole Wheat Garlic Naan.
- 1.5 Cups Whole wheat flour/Atta
- 1/2 Cup Milk
- 3 tbsp Yogurt
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 tsp Sugar
- 1/2 tsp Baking powder
- 1/2 tsp Baking soda
- 2 tbsp oil
- 10-12 Garlic pods finely chopped
- 1/2 cup Coriander leaves finely chopped
- In a wide bowl, sieve and add whole wheat flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and sugar. Crumble all the ingredients. Add yogurt and mix well. Then add milk little by little and make a soft dough.
- Add oil and knead the dough thoroughly with your fist and knuckles. Close the dough with a damp cloth or cling film and let it rest for at least 1-2 hours.
- Then again knead the dough thoroughly and make smooth balls of equal size. With the above-said proportion, you can make approximately 10-12 medium size naan. Flatten and coat it in flour on both sides. Now using rolling pin, roll the dough to thin sheet. Stretch it to give the shape of a tear drop.
- Now on the top add finely chopped garlic, coriander leaves and roll it again. Now gently apply water on the other side of the finally rolled dough. Meanwhile turn on the gas to medium flame and place the griddle to heat. Place the flattened dough on the griddle. The watered side should face down.
- After few seconds you will notice bubbles on the naan. In this stage flip the griddle itself as shown in the picture, we must cook the naan directly on the flame and wait till it is fully cooked on this side (It takes hardly a minute to cook). Repeat the process for the remaining dough balls. Apply ghee or butter and serve.
- Always use room temperature milk and yogurt.
- Allow the dough to rest at least for 1-2 hours.
- More you knead, the dough becomes smoother and naan would be softer.
- While preparing in large quantity always cover the dough with a damp cloth to avoid dough to dry.
- Specified amount of milk is ok to knead the dough. If milk is not enough, sprinkle little warm water and knead.
Soft and Delicious Whole Wheat Garlic Naan is ready to relish.
