Naan's can be made with yeast or without yeast.

    Due to digestive problems, I get after consuming refined flour I am bound to use whole wheat flour most of the time. For Y I wanted to make Yogurt paratha, but on weekend we had to go to a friend's place for the potluck. And then yeast naan came in my mind. Though I was hesitant to serve in 10 person's gathering, my husband gave a green signal. This is the same way I prepared Xmas Paratha.

      Now I have started yearning for naan, but I love to have it with dal makhani. So will have to wait till I make it 🙂 By that time let me satiate myself virtually

      I think the naan tastes the best with the fermentation with yeast. Those Naans look amazing and I am craving for some paneer subzi and that naan. You have made it so well.

      The yeast naans look scrumptious , all buttery they must have tasted absolutely amazing . Yogurt paratha too is a lovely option , but to use Yeast for Y is a great idea . I stuck to Yellow !

      Though no yeast naan do exists, i always love yeasted naan, dunno why. And those whole wheat naan looks just prefect to finish a meal with some paneer based side dishes. Yumm...
