  • 1 tablespoon oil
  • ¾ teaspoon cumin seeds
  • ½ onion finely chopped
  • 1 finely chopped garlic clove
  • ½ lb. ground lamb
  • 1 teaspoon red chile powder
  • ½ teaspoon ground coriander
  • ¼ cup frozen mixed vegetables
  • 1 tablespoon finely chopped parsley omit for traditional keema naan
  • ½ tablespoon finely chopped mint
  • 1 tablespoon finely chopped cilantro
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • juice of 1 lemon
  • Dough Ingredients:
  • 1 teaspoon instant yeast
  • ½ cup warm water
  • 1 teaspoon sugar
  • 1 2/3 cups all purpose flour + ¼ cup as needed
  • ½ teaspoon salt

Instructions

  • In a shallow bowl, combine water and sugar. Add yeast on top and leave for 5-10 minutes until foamy.
  • In a large bowl, combine 1 2/3 cups flour and salt.
  • Add proofed yeast and knead until you have a soft and elastic dough, adding an additional ¼ cup flour if needed.
  • Cover with plastic wrap and a kitchen towel.
  • Leave to rise for 2 hours, until almost doubled in size.
  • To make the filling, heat oil in a skillet.
  • Add cumin seed. When the cumin starts to change color, add onion and garlic.
  • Saute until vegetables are soft and onions are translucent.
  • Add lamb and cook until meat is cooked through.
  • Add chile pepper, coriander and frozen vegetables.
  • Cook until vegetables are heated through.
  • Add parsley if using, mint, cilantro, salt and pepper.
  • Stir to combine.
  • Add lemon juice and stir to combine.
  • Leave to cool while the dough is continuing to rise.
  • Now the dough has risen, it is time to stuff the naan.
  • Divide dough into 4 equal portions and roll into smooth balls.
  • Divide filling into 4 equal portions.
  • On a floured surface, roll out one of the dough balls to a circle about 4” in diameter.
  • Hold the dough like a cup in your hand and place one portion of the filling inside. Bring the dough around the filling so it is well sealed. If needed, use a little water to seal the dough.
  • On the floured work surface, gently roll out the stuffed dough to a circle about 6” in diameter.
  • While you are repeating the procedure for the rest of the dough, heat a skillet/roti iron/tawa and brush with a little ghee.
  • Cook until air bubbles appear on the top. Flip over and cook for another minute.
  • Repeat until all 4 Keema Naan has been cooked.
  • Serve with your favorite chutney.
