Pinch of salt
Directions:
- For the raita, combine all listed ingredients in a bowl and season to taste. Set aside.
- For the salsa, combine all ingredients in a bowl and season with salt. Set aside.
- For the garlic naan, to make the dough, in a bowl, mix flour, salt, garlic, yoghurt, herbs and olive oil until it forms a soft dough.
- Knead gently with your hands for 1 to 2 minutes until smooth.
- Let it rest for 5 to 10 mins (optional, but helps texture).
- Shape the naan by dividing dough into 4 equal balls.
- Lightly dust a clean surface with flour and roll each ball into a naan shape, about 5 mm thick and round.
- Cook it hot by heating beef-tallow, or fat of your choice, a non-stick or cast iron pan over medium-high heat.
- Cook each naan for 1 to 2 mins on the first side, bubbles will appear.
- Flip and cook another 1 to 2 mins until golden brown with charred spots. Sprinkle with more garlic and fresh herbs if you’re feeling fancy.
- To serve, top the naan with sausages and scatter with extra herbs, serve with raita and pineapple and chilli salad.
