No yeast No Eggs - Garlic Butter Naan

Most awaited and my favorite recipe is here. Garlic butter naan gives a well-blended taste of butter and garlic. It can usually be made up of yeast and eggs to get naan fluffy and soft. Those who don't eat eggs or yeast but want to prepare naan, then this recipe is for you. 

Today am sharing the recipe of garlic butter naan without yeast and eggs. Without using yeast and eggs can naan get fluffy and soft..!!!? The answer is yes., You can replace it by using baking powder and baking soda. These two ingredients help to make naan soft and get a fluffy texture. It is very simple and easy to prepare it takes less than an hour. Homemade naan is always healthier too, I did this on Tawa without using the oven. 

Garlic butter naan is majorly found in north India you can see it in all the menus in all the restaurants. It goes well with Chana Masala, Kaju Gravy ( Will share recipes soon). It is coated with chopped garlic, chopped coriander leaves, and melted butter.

Bread Upma - Best Evening Snacks

Bread upma is one of the best times to pass snacks to have along with hot coffee in the evening. It is a very easy and quick recipe and ideal for your kid's lunch box. The only ingredients mainly required are bread, which is readily available in the market/shops and ingredients for tempering. If the edges of the bread hard, then slice them off or no need of removing it.
