Naan And Other Indian Bread

I've really missed Indian bread, especially naan. I've never been glutened at any Indian restaurants however, I REALLY miss the naan.

I've found this recipe for naan and it was pretty good, although it takes a long time to prepare. Open Original Shared Link

I also found a recipe that is naturally gluten-free: it's an indian crepe recipe that is good served with curries. I loved dipping the naan in the curry sauce and this crepe recipe lets me do that with a lot less work/time than with naan.

The recipe is from "5 spices, 50 dishes" by Ruta Kahate.

Goan Savory Crepes (adapted) Makes six crepes

1/2 cup rice flour (I used Authentic Foods superfine brown rice flour)

1/2 tablespoon sugar

1/4 teaspoon salt

1/2 cup canned coconut milk

1/2 egg or 2 tbls. egg substitute

1/4 cup water

canola oil

Mix dry ingredients. Mix coconut milk w/egg. Add dry ingredients to coco/egg mixture. Add water until smooth.

Heat 8 inch skillet on medium heat. Spray with canola oil or wipe with paper towel. Add batter and swirl. Cook 2 minutes covered.

Keep warm. They are thin and will stick together if allowed to become moist. Serve with curry.

Those sound fantastic. I love making crepes but hadn't thought of a savoury style for a main course addition!

Will be making these later this week, thanks for the inspiration ;-)

That looks really goood. I will try it, as well. What curry sauce do you use?

My favourite crepe fillings are savory as well and include shrimp mousseline, chicken with artichoke and sundried tomato, smoked salmon, florentine, lobster cream, leek and apple.

Buckwheat crepes are yummy, too! :)

If I don't make it from scratch, I use Suhki's mixes. They are spice packets (kind of a paste -not dry) and they are excellent. We really like the Tikka Masala and Vindaloo and I think all are gluten-free.

For cooking from scratch, I like the cookbook "5 spices, 50 dishes" by Ruta Kahate and "The Indian Slow-cooker" by Anupy Singla. Most of these are naturally gluten-free and the rest can be adapted.

      I don't know of a connection. Lots of people who don't have celiac disease/gluten issues get shingles.
    • Ginger38
      I’m 43, just newly diagnosed with a horrible case of shingles last week . They are all over my face , around my eye, ear , all in my scalp. Lymph nodes are a mess. Ear is a mess. My eye is hurting and sensitive. Pain has been a 10/10+ daily. Taking Motrin and Tylenol around the clock. I AM MISERABLE. The pain is unrelenting. I just want to cry.   But Developing shingles has me a bit concerned about my immune system which also has me wondering about celiac and if there’s a connection to celiac / gluten and shingles; particularly since I haven't been 💯 gluten free because of all the confusing test results and doctors advice etc., is there a connection here? I’ve never had shingles and the gluten/ celiac  roller coaster has been ongoing for a while but I’ve had gluten off and on the last year bc of all the confusion

      There were some interesting talks, particularly Prof Ludvig Stollid's talk on therapeutics for coeliac disease.    https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLRcl2mPE0WdigRtJPvylUJbkCx263KF_t

      Thank you @trents for letting me know you experience something similar thanks @knitty kitty for your response and resources.  I will be following up with my doctor about these results and I’ll read the articles you sent. Thanks - I really appreciate you all.

      You're right, doctors usually only test Vitamin D and B12.  Both are really important, but they're not good indicators of deficiencies in the other B vitamins.  Our bodies are able to store Vitamin B12 and Vitamin D in the liver for up to a year or longer.  The other B vitamins can only be stored for much shorter periods of time.  Pyridoxine B 6 can be stored for several months, but the others only a month or two at the longest.  Thiamine stores can be depleted in as little as three days.  There's no correlation between B12 levels and the other B vitamins' levels.  Blood tests can't measure the amount of vitamins stored inside cells where they are used.  There's disagreement as to what optimal vitamin levels are.  The Recommended Daily Allowance is based on the minimum daily amount needed to prevent disease set back in the forties when people ate a totally different diet and gruesome experiments were done on people.  Folate  requirements had to be updated in the nineties after spina bifida increased and synthetic folic acid was mandated to be added to grain products.  Vitamin D requirements have been updated only in the past few years.   Doctors aren't required to take as many hours of nutritional education as in the past.  They're educated in learning institutions funded by pharmaceutical corporations.  Natural substances like vitamins can't be patented, so there's more money to be made prescribing pharmaceuticals than vitamins.   Also, look into the Autoimmune Protocol Diet, developed by Dr. Sarah Ballantyne, a Celiac herself.  Her book The Paleo Approach has been most helpful to me.  You're very welcome.  I'm glad I can help you around some stumbling blocks while on this journey.    Keep me posted on your progress!  Best wishes!
