Over the weekend I posted a picture of naan that I made and several of you have asked “when are you posting the recipe?” Well, the answer is today. 
This is about the easiest naan I’ve ever made. There is no yeast, so it doesn’t have to rise. You basically mix it, divide it, roll it out and pan fry it in a bit of olive oil. I ended up getting 10 naan out of this recipe and each one is 133 calories.

Earlier this week I made a naan breakfast sammie – so good!
I met my Mom out last night for her birthday dinner. She didn’t know my sister was going to be there, so that was a nice surprise! The only snafu was she thought I was picking her up, and I thought I was meeting her at the restaurant. My sister was running late – I left right at 5:00 and with traffic, it took me about an hour and twenty minutes to get there. By 6:38 I thought it was weird that my Mom wasn’t there yet, so I called her and said “what are you doing at home?” when we realized she thought I was going to get her – good thing she’s only a short 10 minute drive to the restaurant – and by that time my sister had gotten there so it all worked out in the end.
OMG, we laughed so much – I wish I didn’t still have this cough because I was laughing/coughing at the same time! We met at a place called Chew Chew in Riverside. Of course I had to look at the menu beforehand like I always do, and read some of the reviews on Yelp. Most were positive – but some said the food wasn’t worth the price point, or that service was really slow. We had no problem at all. The service was great, the food was delicious. We started out with their special flatbread which was basically a pancetta and spinach pizza – so good! I already knew I was going to be getting the steak frites, and my Mom and sister quickly decided to get the same thing.
I had a groupon, so we couldn’t partake in the $15 bottle of wine, but that’s nice to know for next time!
We about lost it with the cow creamer!
The steak was delicious and the fries were perfect – hot and crispy. We each ate about half of our steaks though – they were 12 ounces!
I am having lunch out with a friend today, otherwise that half would be my lunch tomorrow – omg, just had a thought – I think I need to add some of that to my breakfast panini!
Hope you had a nice night out Momma – and Jenn, always good to see you! Surprisingly, I don’t see my twin sister as often as I would like.
I slept in a bit this morning, so I have to start getting this show on the road. Make it a great day!
What a lovely evening the three of you had together and the food looks delicious!
Those creamers shaped liked cows always make me smile. My daughter and I always moo as the cream comes out. I know… some things shouldn’t be shared right? So nice you two had dinner with Mom. 🙂
It was just so funny because my sister wasn’t expecting it to come out of the mouth and she instantly started laughing, and that got us all laughing!
I am so on that na’an. Can’t believe it is so easy! And you all look so happy! Is Riverside near Berwyn? That is where my brother lives. Looks like a great spot!
Yes Abbe! It’s right next door to Riverside – I could have waved hello in your brothers general direction! Do you visit him often? Next time you do, let me know and we’ll meet up! 😀
Your naan looks delicious. If you wanted it to be more authentic, you could fry it in clarified butter (or buy some ghee if you can find it). I haven’t made any in years but I really should now that the temps are heading downward and I’ll be on my curry making kick again.
The recipes I did see on Pinterest called for ghee, and I think my ethnic grocery store sells it – I’ll have to look for it – I mean, how bad could adding butter be to these?!
This looks so good! I love bread — yeast breads and quick breads like this one — so I’m sure I’ll be making this at some point. I’m a breadaholic! Restaurant meals are always too big. I ask them to bring me a box at the same time they bring the meal so I can box up half of it right away. My husband says I’m a cheap date!
The portions are a bit out of control at restaurants, aren’t they? 😀
Wow! That naan looks amazing! Perfectly made!
Thanks Lisa – so excited about your big news of being a Momma! 😀
A great evening with my two bestest girls! Thanks for the birthday loot, too!
Glad you had fun Momma! (and just remember the birthday loot was from your favorite child aka ME!) 😀
Loved laughing with you and jamming to Pit bull in the car!!
That was fun Jenn!
Thank you for sharing that recipe! It sounds so delicious and I can’t believe how quickly it cooks.
Yep – super easy to make ten of them on a weekend and have them later in the week 😀
Naam Naam Naam…
Now I want a steak, too.
I could always eat steak 😀
