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.

      For back pain, I take a combination of Cobalamine B12, Pyridoxine B 6, and Thiamine B 1 (in the form Benfotiamine), which have an analgesic effect.  These three B vitamins together work way better than those over the counter pain relievers.  Theses are water soluble B vitamins that are easily excreted via the kidneys if not needed.  Thiamine will also help the nausea.

      @stephaniekl, welcome to the forum, Is your daughter taking any nutritional supplements?   Weight loss and failure to thrive are two symptoms of thiamine insufficiency.  Thiamine deficiency symptoms are not recognized as such by doctors.   I experienced similar symptoms when I became malnourished.  Thiamine deficiency symptoms can become worse quickly, and can affect one emotionally and mentally.  Although blood tests for thiamine aren't accurate, do have your daughter checked for nutritional deficiencies.  Thiamine B 1 works with the other B vitamins and magnesium.  Thiamine and Niacin B 3 help improve Gerd.  All the B vitamins are frequently low due to malabsorption.  Vitamin D will help calm the immune system.  Thiamine helps the immune system fight off viruses like those tick borne illnesses.   Thiamine Mononitrate, which is in many vitamin supplements, is not bioavailable.  I was taking a multivitamin containing thiamine mononitrate and still became deficient in thiamine. Thiamine in the form Benfotiamine has been shown to promote intestinal healing.  A form called TTFD (tetrahydrofurfuryl disulfide) is also excellent for correcting thiamine deficiency.  A combination of Thiamine, Cobalamine B12, and Pyridoxine B 6 has analgesic properties.  I take it for back pain.   Keep us posted on your progress!

      Has prednisone or some other systemic steroid been tried that might quiet her immune system down for a while? I have two acquaintances with Lyme's disease. It is a wicked condition that has long fingers.

      We have.  She is so limited as to what she can eat.  She has a nutritionist, but they are even at a loss.  Right now, her pain is so significant that she can only eat 5-10 bites a meal.   We just got some labs back today and she is hypoglycemia, anemic and her immune system is shot.  She also is positive for 3 tickborne illnesses.  Thanks for your help!

      A much better suggestion than that of the new doctor!
