Cheese Garlic Naan with Cheesy Dip

Ingredients:

For the Kulcha Dough:

Refined flour 2 cups
1/4 tsp salt
1 tsp sugar
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/4 cup dahi
Water as required to knead a soft & super stretchy dough

Method:

• In a mixing bowl add the dry ingredients & give them a mix. Now add in the curd & add the water gradually. Add water & mix until you have got a sticky mixture & the flour comes together.
• Now add some oil & start kneading the dough. As soon as you add the oil you will notice that the dough is easier to handle. You can sprinkle some dry flour if the dough is very sticky.
• Knead well for 10-12 minutes at least or until the dough is smooth & isn’t sticky anymore.
• Cover with a damp cloth for a minimum of 30 minutes.

For the cheese garlic filling

1/4 cup chopped garlic
1/2 cup cheese
1 tbsp fresh coriander
2 tsp green chopped chillies
A pinch of black pepper powder

Method:
• In a mixing bowl add all the ingredients & mix well.
• This filling will be used to fill the naan dough. you can skip this step & only apply the garlic + other ingredients on top of the naan also.

For oregano seasoning:

Ingredients:
• Garlic powder/Granules 4 tbsp
• Dried Oregano 1 ½ tbsp
• Dried Basil 1 tbsp
• Black pepper powder 1 tsp
• Red chilli powder 1 tbsp
• Dried Rosemary 1 tsp
• Salt to taste

Method:
• This is the seasoning we all crave for to add loads of it on top of pizzas & garlic bread sticks from some famous pizza chains.
• I didi not have garlic grabules in stock in my kitchen so I used garlic powder, but if you want the perfect results add some garlic granules, it’s simply dry garlic ground coarsely. 

• Add all ingredients & mix well. Rosemary is optional so you could skip that ingredient if you do not have it and you don’t require to buy it if you do not use it frequebtly.
• Buy some dry basil because you can add it in many other recipes too & it gives a really good flavour.
• Stire it in an air tight container for months in the fridge.

For assembly:
Red chilli flakes
Chopped garlic Lots of it
Fresh coriander
Ghee

Method to make the naans:

• Once the dough has rested, make smooth dough balls.
• Now flatten the dough ball & shape it into a katori.
• Fill wholesome cheese & garlic filling into the naan dough ball & seal it. You can remove some extra dough if any.
• Now apply dry flour & flatten it. Use a rolling pin to roll out a thick disk.
• Now apply very little ghee on top. Now add the chopped garlic, oregano seasoning, red chilli flakes, fresh coriander.
• Apply some water to your fingers & start pressing the naan to shape it. Remember to roll out a semi thick naan, the naan should not be too thick or too thin.
• Once the naan is rolled out, stretch from one side to form the elongated naan shape.
• Set a iron tava on high flame. Note that the tava should be an iron tava. The tava should be really hot.
• Now apply water nicely on the back of the naan. Stick the naan on the hot tava water side down.
• Cook until bubbles appear which should take half a minute. Now invert the tava & cook on direct flame while directing the tava from different angles to cook the naan well.
• Once the naan is cooked perfectly, remove & serve.

For cheesy dip:

Cheese 250 grams
Milk 50 – 100 ml
Butter

• To make pizza chains like cheesy dip. Set some water to boil in a vessel. Place a bowl on top to form a double boiler.
• Now add in the cheese, butter & some milk. Start whisking and let the cheese melt.
• You should add the milk gradually & depending upon the cheese quality & the area you live in the milk quantity would differ.
• Once the cheese has melted completely & the cheesy dip has its thick consistency you can now serve it. You can store it in the fridge but the dip tends to solidify a bit. You can run it in the microwave oven for a few seconds and you are good to go. Also, if you have a microwave oven, you can avoid the double boiler method & give 30 second heat waves and mix until you achieve the right consistency to make the dip.
• Enjoy the dip, you can also flavour it as per your taste with jalapeno or herbs.
• Enjoy the garlic breadstick with cheesy dip style Naan!
