Peshvari naan

Cooking Vegetarian Peshvari naan

Perfect for pulling apart and scooping up curries, this version of the soft Indian flatbread has a sweet buttery mildly spiced filling.

  1. Combine the flour, yeast and salt in a large bowl. Make a well in the centre and pour in the water, butter and honey. Use a wooden spoon to stir until combined, then use your hands to bring the dough together in the bowl.
  2. Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead for 8-10 minutes or until smooth and elastic. Brush a large bowl with oil to grease. Place the dough in the bowl and cover with plastic wrap or a damp tea towel. Set aside in a warm, draught-free place for 1 hour or until doubled in size.
  3. Meanwhile, to make the filling, melt butter in a frying pan over medium heat until foaming. Add onion, garlic, ginger, coriander, cumin and cinnamon and cook, stirring, for 10-15 minutes or until onion is soft. Stir in the sultanas and coconut.
  4. Preheat oven to 230°C. Brush 2 baking trays with oil to grease. Divide the dough and filling into 6 equal portions. Roll out 1 dough portion on a lightly floured surface to an 18cm-diameter disc. Spread 1 filling portion over one-half of the dough. Fold in half to enclose filling. Roll into an 18cm-long oval shape. Transfer to 1 prepared tray. Repeat with the remaining dough and filling. Cover with plastic wrap and set aside for 15 minutes or until almost doubled in size.
  5. Bake in oven for 10-12 minutes or until golden and puffed. Brush with extra melted butter to serve
