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.

      Thanks much Scott.  Well said, and heeded.   I don't have Celiac, which is fortunate.

      Do you have the results of your endoscopy? Did you do a celiac disease blood panel before that?  Here is more info about how to do a gluten challenge for a celiac disease blood panel, or for an endoscopy: and this recent study recommends 4-6 slices of wheat bread per day:

      It is odd that your Tissue Transglutaminase (TTG) IgA level has bounced from the "inconclusive" range (7.9, 9.8) down to a negative level (5.3), only to climb back up near the positive threshold. This inconsistency, coupled with your ongoing symptoms of malabsorption and specific nutrient deficiencies, is a strong clinical indicator that warrants a more thorough investigation than a simple "satisfactory" sign-off. A negative blood test does not definitively rule out celiac disease, especially with such variable numbers and a classic symptomatic picture. You are absolutely right to seek a second opinion and push for a referral to a gastroenterologist. A biopsy remains the gold standard for a reason, and advocating for one is the most direct path to getting the answers you need to finally address the root cause of your suffering.

      There is a distinction between gluten itself and the other chemicals and processing methods involved in modern food production. Your experience in Italy and Greece, contrasted with your reactions in the U.S., provides powerful anecdotal evidence that the problem, for some people, may not be the wheat, but the additives like potassium bromate and the industrial processing it undergoes here. The point about bromines displacing iodine and disrupting thyroid function is a significant one, explaining a potential biological mechanism for why such additives could cause systemic health issues that mimic gluten sensitivity. It's both alarming and insightful to consider that the very "watchdog" agencies meant to protect us are allowing practices banned in many other developed countries. Seeking out European flour and your caution about the high-carb, potentially diabeticgenic nature of many gluten-free products are excellent practical takeaways from your research, but I just want to mention--if you have celiac disease you need to avoid all wheat, including all wheat and gluten in Europe.

      @Scott Adams That's actually exactly what I ended up asking for— vodka tonic with Titos.  I saw on their website that Tito's is certified gluten-free (maybe many of the clear vodkas are, I don't know, I just happened to look up Tito's in advance). I should have actually specified the 'splash' though, because I think with the amount of tonic she put in there, it did still end up fairly sweet.  Anyway, I think I've almost got this drink order down!
