Haldiram’s Tandoori Naan is a soft and fluffy Indian flatbread, traditionally baked in a tandoor (clay oven), with a slightly smoky flavor. It’s perfect to pair with curries, kebabs, or dips.
Here's how you can cook Haldiram’s Frozen Tandoori Naan:
How to Cook Haldiram’s Frozen Tandoori Naan:
1. Tawa (Griddle) Method (Best for Softness and Crispness):
- Heat a tawa (griddle) or non-stick frying pan on medium-high heat.
- Once the tawa is hot, place the frozen naan directly on it (there’s no need to thaw it first).
- Cook for 1-2 minutes until small bubbles start appearing on the top.
- Flip the naan and cook for another 1-2 minutes on the other side.
- Brush with ghee or butter (optional) for added flavor.
- Serve hot with curries, dips, or yogurt.
2. Oven Method (For Crispier Naan):
- Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F).
- Place the frozen naan directly on the middle rack of the oven, or on a baking sheet.
- Bake for 5-7 minutes or until golden brown and crispy.
- Once done, remove it from the oven and optionally brush with butter or ghee for extra flavor.
3. Microwave Method (Quickest Option):
- Wrap the frozen naan in a damp paper towel to keep it soft.
- Microwave on high for about 30-40 seconds, or until heated through.
- This method doesn’t give you the crispy texture, but it’s quick and convenient.
4. Air Fryer Method (For Even Crispiness):
- Preheat the air fryer to 180°C (350°F).
- Place the frozen naan in the air fryer basket in a single layer.
- Air fry for 3-4 minutes, or until golden and crisp.
- Brush with butter or ghee once it’s done for extra flavor.
Serving Suggestions:
- Serve your Tandoori Naan with butter chicken, dal makhani, paneer tikka, or vegetable curry.
- You can also pair it with raita, pickles, or salads.
Tips:
- Don’t overcook: Be mindful of the cooking time to keep your naan soft and not too crispy.
- Butter/Ghee: Brushing with ghee or butter after cooking adds extra flavor and makes it even softer.
