Cottage Cheese Garlic Naan is a soft, flavorful flatbread made with a blend of cottage cheese, eggs, and flours, infused with minced garlic. Perfectly cooked on a stovetop skillet, this naan is brushed with butter and garnished with fresh parsley or cilantro, making it an excellent accompaniment to Indian dishes or a delicious snack on its own.

Ingredients

Scale

Dough:

  • 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

For cooking and garnish:

  • 1 tablespoon butter for brushing
  • Chopped parsley or cilantro for garnish

Instructions

  1. Blend Cottage Cheese and Eggs: In a blender or food processor, blend the cottage cheese and eggs until the mixture is completely smooth and silky, ensuring there are no lumps for a soft dough.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, almond flour, baking powder, and salt to evenly distribute the leavening and seasoning.
  3. Combine Wet and Dry: Pour the blended cottage cheese and egg mixture into the dry ingredients, gently stirring until a sticky dough forms; this texture is ideal for shaping.
  4. Add Garlic and Shape Dough: Mix the minced garlic into the dough for flavor. Lightly flour your hands, then form the dough into golf ball-sized portions and flatten each into an oval about 1/4 inch thick.
  5. Cook the Naan: Heat a non-stick or cast iron pan over medium heat and lightly brush with butter. Cook each naan for 2 to 3 minutes per side until golden brown and puffy, adjusting the heat as needed to avoid burning.
  6. Finish and Garnish: Brush the cooked naan with melted butter while still warm and sprinkle with chopped parsley or cilantro to add a fresh, vibrant finish.

Notes

  • You can substitute almond flour with more all-purpose flour for a different texture.
  • Full-fat cottage cheese creates a richer naan, but low-fat can be used for a lighter version.
  • Cook the naan on medium heat to ensure they cook through without burning.
  • Serve warm with curries, dips, or as a snack on its own.
  • For a dairy-free variation, substitute butter with a plant-based alternative.
