Saag "paneer" and fresh whole wheat naan
Saag "paneer" and fresh whole wheat naan
Some pan fried squash on the side.
I love making naan in my pizza oven. Especially since I don’t make nearly as much pizza now that I don’t eat cheese!
We use extra firm tofu instead of paneer, and it’s texture is actually pretty perfect for it.
That looks amazing!
What is your naan recipe!?
311g flour (I split it 50:50, King Arthur bread flour and whole wheat.)
4g instant yeast
13g sugar
7g salt
270g soy milk (you can use any combination of plant milk and plant yogurt. I always have soy milk on hand, so that’s what I’ve gravitated towards)
Mix everything together (I use a stand mixer)
Let rest at room temp till doubled (2-4 hours depending on the temp of your room)
Dump it out on a floured surface, cut into chunks* (the above amounts I usually end up with 12 pieces)
Press the chunks flat, and cover.
Let those chunks rise for another 2-4 hours.
Preheat your pizza oven to max temp (900f)
Flour the chunks, and flatten them THIN!
Put 1-2 chunks on pizza peel, toss into oven for 30-60 seconds, flipping after they puff up.
*normally I split the big dough ball into 3 pieces. Refrigerate 2 of them, and only make one into chunks. That way I can have fresh baked naan for 3 days while we eat all the curry.
So awesome! Thanks!
This deserves it's own post!
It's so subtly colourful and saucy 🥲
This looks amazing thanks for sharing! Tofu is made the same way as paneer as far as I know just with soy milk!
Makes sense! It’s a perfect substitute. We use tofu in our “butter chicken” as well.
I just love tofu.
I still remember where I was when I found out that paneer wasn't tofu - vegetarian dinner date 🫥
Yeah, I was shocked as well. It barely tastes like cheese anyway. Why not ditch the ghee and paneer and go full plant power?
Plant POWARRRRR
But yes I agree. It's like so close already, and not even remotely a part of the dominant flavours
