I love naan, don’t have any good recipes but it’s awesome. I’m making some Indian food right now, a pumpkin curry type dish with cucumber raita, but I am not good at making naan, so just doing basmati rice this time.
Here are a couple quick, accessible (using canned ingredients) and super easy recipes
1 cup canned chickpeas, rinsed and gently smashed
1 onion minced
1 Tbsp minced fresh or pickled ginger (less if dried and powderized)
2 cloves garlic
4 Tbsp butter or ghee
1 tsp cumin
1 tsp coriander
1 tsp turmeric
1/3 c water w/ 2 tsp corn starch dissolved in it
Cook the onion in the butter until past translucent and the onion begins to caramelize, turn brown. Add the spices and reduce heat to simmer.
Add chickpeas and starchy water. Cook over medium heat to thicken. Done.
2 cups of stewed pork or beef
2 Tbsp fresh ginger
4 cloves garlic
2 tsp coriander
2 tsp cumin
2 tsp dried fenugreek leaves
1 can stewed tomatoes
A dash of nutmeg and clove
1 12 oz(?) can of coconut milk
1 Tbsp corn starch dissolved in 2 Tbsp cold water
4 Tbsp corn oil
Heat the spices gently in oil for a couple minutes to open up the dried spices and express the garlic and ginger. Add the tomatoes, meat and coconut milk. Make sure any oil is incorporated by stirring. Add the water and corn starch to thicken. Done.
