bake 20: homemade naan.

tada!  my first attempt at naan.  not too shabby if i say so myself!

it's been over six years since i've attempted indian cuisine.  my first attempt happened when we lived in alabama after we were first married, with some old spices i picked up during a college trip to india.  not only did it not go well, it was a monumental disaster.  i for one, was teaching myself to cook and two, at the time, a. was the pickiest eater on the planet.  needless to say, it wasn't one of my finest culinary moments.

fast forward to last night.  i decided six years was long enough and forged ahead.  of course, indian cuisine isn't complete (in my opinion anyway) without naan.  ready to bake and take on the "bake 20" challenge i announced yesterday, i figured naan would make for a great start.

recipe: i settled on this naan recipe after reading some of the reviews.

adjustments: i intended to follow the recipe verbatim, but neglected to warm the milk before adding it.  

review: these were fabulous.  they tasted relatively authentic and perfectly complemented the palak paneer i made for dinner.  of course, the naan was the highlight of dinner & i'll definitely make these again (being certain to add warm milk next time).

over the next five months i'm going to try my hand at 20 different baked goods.  there's no specific order and no plan.  just making things that look good and hopefully in the process, finding a new appreciation of baking.  feel free to join me in the Bake 20 Challenge.
