Since I’ve been feeling dramatically less contagious I decided that I would get back into the kitchen, put on my flour covered apron, and see what I felt like making. People have been talking about Indian breads on the Indian Cooking forum on Ravelry and someone posted that they had tried a good online naan recipe.. so I went to check it out. Realizing that I had everything to make it AND the makings for a chickpea curry.. I set about making myself some garlic naan. A few rises, a fling with the George Foreman Grill (a pan worked much better.. but I saw this on one of the comments to the recipe and figured I’d give it a shot) and setting off every one of the smoke detectors in the house (oops).. I had this :

mmm… garlicky goodness. After I decided that the GFGrill wasn’t big enough and the naan were getting too thick I decided to use a skillet which is when I burned the crap outta the first naan and set off the smoke detectors. Sadly I have no photos of the skillet cooked naan because by that point I was too hungry and ended up just stuffing my face. The recipe made 10 naan (not counting the two I burned the crap out of) and I was only able to eat about 2 pieces before I started bloating. I have a ton left and will be eating leftover chickpea curry & naan for the next day or two… they taste just like the bread I loved from the Nepali restaurant in Colorado.
