Here’s a step-by-step guide to making Naan Joosh at home.
Ingredient | Quantity |
|---|---|
Onion | 1 medium |
Garlic (grated) | 1 clove |
Water | 1 cup |
Bread (dry, chopped) | 2 cups |
Turmeric | 1 tsp |
Tomato paste | 1 tbsp |
Fenugreek | 1 tbsp |
Coriander seeds | 5 seeds |
Salt | To taste |
Pepper | To taste |
Oil | ½ cup |
Wash the onions and slice them thinly. Heat a pan over low heat, add the onions, and sauté until golden.
Add the grated garlic to the golden onions and sauté briefly. Then add salt, pepper, and turmeric, continuing to sauté until the onion and garlic are aromatic.
Rinse and crush the coriander seeds and fenugreek, then add them gently to the onions and sauté for a short time.
Add the tomato paste to the mixture and continue to sauté until all ingredients are well combined.
Pour in the water and stir gently to create a uniform mixture.
Chop the dry bread into small pieces (about the size of a fingertip) and quickly add it to the mixture, stirring well. Transfer the mixture to the serving dish.
Garnish with fresh herbs if desired.
Choose a dry bread that is firm and thick enough so it doesn’t break down completely in the dish.
If your bread is thin, turn off the heat and add it after a few moments to prevent over-softening.
You can also serve Naan Joosh on the side and add it gradually while eating.
The amount of water depends on your preference: less water for a drier dish, more for a softer consistency.
