Description
This Cottage Cheese Garlic Naan is soft, protein-packed, and yeast-free. A healthier twist on the Indian classic that’s quick to make and perfect for any meal.
Ingredients
- 1 cup cottage cheese (full-fat works best)
- 2 eggs
- 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup almond flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon butter for brushing
- Chopped parsley or cilantro for garnish
Instructions
1. In a blender or food processor, blend cottage cheese and eggs until smooth and creamy.
2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together all-purpose flour, almond flour, baking powder, and salt.
3. Pour the cottage cheese mixture into the dry ingredients. Stir until a sticky dough forms.
4. Add the minced garlic into the dough and mix gently.
5. Lightly flour your hands, then divide the dough into golf ball-sized portions. Flatten each ball into oval or round shapes about 1/4 inch thick.
6. Heat a non-stick or cast iron skillet over medium heat and lightly brush with butter.
7. Cook each naan for 2–3 minutes per side until golden brown spots appear and the bread puffs slightly.
8. Remove from the pan, brush with more butter, and sprinkle parsley or cilantro before serving warm.
Notes
Use full-fat cottage cheese for the creamiest texture.
Don’t skip the almond flour—it gives a softer, nuttier result.
Keep your skillet at medium heat for even cooking.
Freeze extras for easy meals later—just reheat in a pan for best texture.
