Too many photographs, I normally print out recipes but it would take loads of paper to print this. With all due respect, people are interested in the recipes and not looking at loads of photos of yourself.

Hi Alison,
Thanks for your comment.
I'm in the process of converting all older recipes to recipe cards. I have now updated this one.
If you refresh this page and click the grey PRINT button just underneath the small naan image, you will be given a simplified version especially for printing with no side images etc.
Hope that helps!

You make it sound so simple. I've only ever made naan myself using a mix, but I might just have to try these :)

Rachael says
GREAT recipe! I'd steer away from the light yogurt because that usually means they're rammed full of sugar but they look so yummy!!
Emily Leary says
Ah good point, Rachael! I actually mean fat-free Greek yoghurt - the kind that's been strained and has no added stuff. I'll update the post.
