About this recipe
Garlic and coriander naan Thermomix TM7 recipes bring the fragrance of an Indian tandoor straight into your kitchen. This all-in-one kitchen machine does the heavy lifting: it weighs the flour, sugar and yeast straight into the mixing bowl, then kneads a supple full-cream milk dough while you toast the nigella seeds. Fresh coriander and garlic cloves are chopped in seconds, releasing their aroma without a sticky chopping board. Brushed with ghee and studded with nigella seeds, these flatbreads puff up golden and pillowy in a hot pan, ready for quick weeknight dinners or a festive curry spread. Whether you are searching for naan recipes for your Thermomix TM7 or simply want warm bread without the bakery queue, this side dish delivers restaurant-quality results with everyday ingredients like olive oil, sea salt and instant yeast.
Preparation tips
- Let the kneaded milk dough rest in a warm spot until doubled in size; this makes the naan puff beautifully in the pan and gives the crumb its characteristic airy pockets.
- Brush each hot naan generously with ghee straight from the pan and sprinkle extra chopped coriander and nigella seeds on top so the flavours stick to the warm surface.
- No ghee at hand? Melted butter or olive oil works well, and a spoonful of thick yogurt can replace part of the full-cream milk for a tangier, softer flatbread.
Recipe variations
- Lactose-free version: replace the full-cream milk with a plant-based alternative such as oat or almond drink and swap the ghee for olive oil, keeping the garlic and coriander flavour identical.
- Festive paneer-stuffed naan: fill each dough round with a spiced mixture of crumbled paneer, extra garlic paste and coriander before cooking, ideal for a celebratory Indian feast.
