Print Recipe
Grocery List
Yield : Makes 10 servings
Nutritional Information
Ingredients Amounts
Naan  
Semolina Flour 8 ounces (1/2 lb)
Baking Powder 1 tsp.
Salt 1/2 tsp.
Non-fat Yogurt 2 ounces
Olive Oil 2 Tbsp.
Egg Whites, lightly beaten 2.5 ounces
   
Eggplant Purée  
Eggplant 9 ounces (about half of a regular eggplant)
Salt 1/2 tsp.
Onion, minced 4.5 ounces
Jalapeño, minced 1 tsp.
Non-fat Yogurt 1 ounce
   
Method

1. To prepare the naan, sift the semolina, baking powder, and salt in a large bowl. Stir in the yogurt, oil, and egg whites. Add a little warm water, if necessary, to make a soft, pliable dough.

2. Turn the dough out on a lightly floured work surface and knead for about 5 minutes. Cover the dough with a floured cloth and leave in a warm area for 3 hours.

3. Meanwhile, to make the eggplant purée, grill the eggplant until soft and well browned on all sides. Remove the skin and mash the pulp thoroughly. Incorporate the remaining ingredients to make a thick purée.

4. Deflate the dough by kneading it briefly. Divide into 10 equal pieces, about 1 1/3 ounces each. Pull each piece of dough into a 6-inch-long teardrop shape.

5. For each serving: Heat a grill, metal griddle, or heavy skillet. Cook 1 piece of dough on each side for 2 minutes or until golden brown and slightly puffed. Serve with 2 tablespoons of the eggplant purée.
