Make the Spinach Naan Dough<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In a mixing bowl, combine the refined flour, salt, sweetener and baking powder.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Add the yogurt and spinach pur\u00e9e and mix well. Gradually add water as required to form a soft, stretchy dough.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Knead for <strong>10\u201312 minutes<\/strong>, or until the dough becomes smooth and is no longer sticky.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Cover with a damp cloth and allow it to rest for at least <strong>30 minutes<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>2. Prepare the Sauces<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">While the dough rests, prepare the butter-garlic mixture, tomato gravy and yogurt-garlic dip.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>3. Shape the Naan<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">After resting, lightly coat the dough with dry flour.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Begin shaping it with your fingers and then use a rolling pin. Roll it into a thick chapati-like shape and gently stretch one end to give it the characteristic naan shape.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>4. Part-Cook the Naan<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Spread a small spoonful of garlic butter evenly over the naan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Place it on a non-stick baking pan and half-cook using <strong>grill + convection mode at 180\u00b0C for 8\u201310 minutes<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You can also use an air fryer, keeping the naan smaller so that it fits comfortably.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>5. Add the Toppings<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Remove the half-cooked naan and spread the tomato gravy over the surface.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Grate the cheese on top, then add the vegetables and paneer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Return it to the oven and cook for another <strong>7\u201310 minutes<\/strong>, until the cheese has melted and the naan is cooked through.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>6. Finish &amp; Serve<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Cut the Palak Paneer Naanizza into slices.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Drizzle with the yogurt-garlic dip, garnish with spring onion and serve hot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Ipshita\u2019s Note<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I came across this recipe on <strong>YFL (Your Food Lab)<\/strong> and loved the idea of turning naan into a pizza-style meal. I followed their recipe and made it in my kitchen \u2014 a delicious combination of spinach naan, paneer, vegetables, cheese and a creamy yogurt-garlic finish.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Recipe &amp; original concept credit: YFL (Your Food Lab).<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Tip<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Give the dough its full resting time and keep the naan slightly thick when shaping it. Part-cooking the naan before adding the toppings helps prevent the base from becoming soggy once the tomato gravy, cheese and vegetables are added.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Naan + Pizza = The Ultimate Fusion!
