Vegan and gluten-free
Using these 3 simple ingredients (plus sea salt) you will either have or can get in most supermarkets.
These naans are made with gluten-free self raising flour which is available in larger supermarkets.
Easy variations
Any plain yoghurt will work instead of coconut yoghurt
Try garlic or chilli-infused olive oil instead of plain olive oil
Stir in 1/2 tsp ground coriander to the dough for added flavour
The dough is really simple to make – it only takes 5 minutes!
Place all the ingredients in a bowl.
Mix together with a fork and then bring the dough together with your fingers.
Shape into a ball.
Divide the dough in 2 and roll out on a floured surface.
If you find the mix a little dry when rolling into a ball, simply add a little more oil.
No need to worry about what shape they are – just make sure the edges are smooth.
Dry fry in a heated frying pan for a couple of minutes, until just starting to blacken.
