Onion Naan

This homemade onion naan is a fragrant and soft vegetarian side dish that elevates any Indian-inspired feast. By folding finely chopped onions directly into the dough, each bite offers a subtle sweetness and savoury crunch that pairs beautifully with creamy dahl or spicy curries. The addition of full-fat yoghurt ensures a light, pillowy texture, while cooking the flatbreads in a hot frying pan provides those signature charred blisters and a professional finish.

Preparing this bread from scratch is surprisingly straightforward and far superior to shop-bought versions. You can even prepare the dough up to four hours in advance and keep it in the fridge, making it a stress-free addition to a weekend dinner party. Serve these warm, perhaps brushed with a little extra melted ghee and a sprinkle of fresh coriander, for a truly comforting addition to your meal.

Ingredients for Onion Naan

  • 180ml whole milk

  • 35g envelope active dry yeast

  • 1 cucharadita de azúcar

  • 450g plain flour plus more for surface and hands

  • 1 cucharadita de sal kosher más adicional

  • 1 cebolla pequeña, finamente picada

  • 240ml whole-milk yoghurt (not Greek)

  • 2 tablespoons melted ghee (clarified butter) or vegetable oil plus more

Heat milk in a small saucepan over medium-low heat until an instant-read thermometer registers 38°C. Transfer to a small bowl and whisk in yeast and sugar. Let stand until foamy, about 10 minutes.

Whisk 450g flour and 1 teaspoon salt in a large bowl to blend. Add yeast mixture, onion, yoghurt, and 2 tablespoons ghee. Mix dough until blended but still shaggy.

Transfer dough to a lightly floured work surface. Knead until a smooth dough forms, adding flour as needed (dough will be sticky), about 5 minutes. Lightly grease another large bowl with ghee, place dough in bowl, and turn to coat. Cover with plastic wrap. Let rise in a warm, draft-free area until doubled in size, about 1 hour.

Punch down dough and divide into 10 pieces. Using floured hands, roll each piece into a ball on a lightly floured surface. Cover with plastic wrap; let rest 10 minutes.

Heat a large cast-iron or other heavy skillet over medium-high heat. Lightly coat with ghee. Working with 1 piece at a time, stretch dough with your hands or roll out with a rolling pin to 1/8" thickness. Sprinkle with salt. Cook until lightly blistered, puffed, and cooked through, about 2 minutes per side. Wrap in foil to keep warm until ready to serve.

DO AHEAD: Naan dough can be made 4 hours before shaping. Cover and chill.
