COOKING WITHOUT AN OVEN – TIPS & TRICKS
Producing Creamy Tikka Reshmi Naan without using an oven is achievable and can be as delicious, flavorful, and satisfying! With a few smart tips, you can replicate the fabulous tandoor style right in your home.
- Mimic Tandoor-Style Char: To achieve the lovely char on the naan, make sure you cook the naan on high heat. I recommend using a thick-bottomed pan. Once you have cooked one side of the naan (2-3 minutes), flip it over and quickly bring it to the flame using tongs. The direct flame adds smokiness and beautiful char as well.
- Recommended Utensils: The best way to ensure crispy naan is to use a cast iron griddle or a thick-bottomed tawa; both create an even heat and a nice crispy texture. Avoid using non-stick; it will not produce the same golden-brown crust.
- Troubleshooting Common Issues: Naan is too dry? Add a bit more yogurt or milk to the dough!
Does it not rise well? Make sure you allow the dough to rest for at least 1–2 hours.
Sticks to the pan? I recommend preheating your tawa well, but also using a bit of oil lightly brushed on your tawa before you add the naan.
These small tweaks help you perfect your soon-to-be stovetop naan to deliver restaurant-style results right into your very home, even homemade naan using no oven!
