Keema Curry with Rice Flour Naan

IMAGE

These naan and Keema curry are both made with rice flour. The naan has potato starch and yogurt, making it fluffy and moist.

Tips:
  • The potato starch added to rice flour gelatinizes when processed with heat, making it an ideal binding element for the dough.

  • All rice flour is naturally gluten-free. Make this dish completely gluten-free by using gluten-free substitutes for other ingredients as needed.

Directions

  1. For the naan

    In a medium bowl, mix dry ingredients and stir well.

  2. Add yogurt and olive oil to the dry ingredients and start kneading. Add warm water gradually, adjusting the amount to reach a desired firmness.

  3. When combined well, cover the bowl with plastic wrap, and leave at the room temperature to let the dough rise for 40-50 minutes.

  4. Divide the dough into 4 equal portions. Make oval shapes, using a dusted rolling pin, if necessary. Cover with plastic wrap, and let them rest for another 20 minutes.

  5. For the curry

    Heat olive oil in a pot over low-heat. Sauté garlic and ginger until fragrant.

  6. Add pork and sauté.

  7. Add the remaining vegetables and sauté, then add the tomatoes.

  8. When cooked thoroughly, season with curry powder, Worcestershire sauce, ketchup, and chicken bouillon. Add water.

  9. Simmer for 15 minutes, then season with salt and pepper.

  10. In a small bowl, combine rice flour and water. Mix into the curry. Stir until the curry thickens. Set aside.

  11. Heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Place the naan dough on the hot dry skillet. When air bubbles on the top and turns brown on the bottom, flip. When golden brown on both sides, set aside. Repeat for the remaining dough. Serve immediately.
