Cardamom & Raisin Naan with Honey Butter Glaze

Author: Flavelo
Recipes Vegetarian & Vegan Dishes Cakes and Desserts
Inspired by the classic Peshwari naan, this recipe is the sweet king of flatbreads. The citrusy, camphor-like aroma of cardamom paired with the natural sweetness of raisins transforms this simple bread into an exotic treat. It's the perfect companion for spicy curries (the sweetness balances the heat) or served simply with butter as a decadent breakfast.

Instructions

1 ✓

Soak the raisins in warm water for 10 minutes, then drain and squeeze out excess moisture thoroughly.

Tip: Hydrated raisins won't absorb moisture from the dough and are less likely to burn.
2 ✓

Whisk the flour, yeast, sugar, salt, and cardamom together. Combine with the wet ingredients (yogurt, water, oil) and knead into a smooth dough.

Tip: Cardamom is potent; mixing it directly into the flour ensures the flavor permeates the entire bread.
3 ✓

Cover and let rise in a warm place for 1 hour.

Tip: Wait until it doubles in size.
4 ✓

Divide into 6 portions and roll into ovals. Scatter raisins over one half of the dough, fold the other half over, and gently roll it out again with a rolling pin to press the raisins into the dough.

Tip: This folding technique locks the fruit inside the dough.
5 ✓

Cook in a hot skillet for 2 minutes per side until bubbles form and brown spots appear.

Tip: High heat creates sudden steam within the dough, creating those signature airy bubbles.
6 ✓

Brush with melted butter before serving.

Tip: The butter enhances the cardamom flavor.

Recipe FAQ

What if the raisins burn?
The raisins should be tucked inside the dough! If they poke through to the surface, the direct heat will make them bitter. Press them firmly into the dough before folding.
