Serves 6-8
INGREDIENTS
Whole Wheat Stove Top Naan
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 cup whole-wheat flour
1 teaspoon honey
½ teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon baking powder
½ teaspoon baking soda
1 cup greek yogurt
1 tablespoon oil
¼ cup warm water or milk for kneading the dough, use more if needed
Cilantro chopped for topping 4 tablespoons ghee
Platter
6 large eggs
5 carrots (different colors if possible)
1 head of cauliflower
2 cups snap peas
Dip
1 lemon (Meyer lemon if available)
1.5 cups greek yogurt
3 tbsp nutritional yeast
3 cloves green garlic, minced
2 teaspoons liquid aminos
1 teaspoon onion powder
½ teaspoon cumin
¼ teaspoon coriander
½ teaspoon kosher salt
½ teaspoon cracked black pepper
PREPARATION
To make the naan, sift the flour in a kneading bowl. Add honey, salt, baking powder, and baking soda. Mix well.
Pour yogurt and oil right to the bowl. Start mixing together, and add about ¼ cup of warm milk or water to knead a smooth dough.
Once the dough is ready, cover it with a kitchen towel and keep it aside for 30 minutes in a warm place.
To cook the eggs, heat up 2 cups water in a medium pot. When water is simmering, gently add 6 eggs and cook on low for 7 minutes (set a timer). Remove eggs and add to an ice bath. Peel and slice eggs into quarters and add to platter.
Par cook carrots in the same water, then cauliflower, if desired. About 5 min
Julienne carrots and cut cauliflower into bite-size chunks and place on platter with eggs.
To make dip, mix all ingredients together and set aside.
To cook the naan, first divide the dough into 8 equal balls. Dust each dough ball with dry flour, flip it, and roll into an oval shape about 1/8 in thick. Repeat with the remaining dough.
Brush both sides of the naan with ghee or butter. Place the naan on the hot pan, and cook for 1 min, until you see bubbles starting to form. Brush with more ghee. Flip and cook for 1 min more on the other side, until you see the upper side is fully cooked, and dark brown starts to appear.
