Naan is an Indian bread that is famous all over the world. While authentic naan is made in a clay oven or tandoor, this recipe lets you replicate the same taste and texture using a pressure cooker, a handy utensil that almost every Indian kitchen has!

The Pressure Cooker Naan is a typical example of ingenuity winning over inability. Not everybody has a tandoor to experiment with, but a pressure cooker is something everybody has. So, why not put that to good use!

The pressure cooker, placed upside down on the stove, emulates the same environment as a tandoor and gives the naan the same special wood-fired aroma and texture. Try it to believe us.

Have a go at other pressure cooker recipes like Pindi Chole and Panchratni Dal .

Sounds great.... what does it mean to heat the PRESSURE cooker upside down? Mine has the 6 QT insert sleeve... won''t that fallout if I turn the cooker upside down? Sorry for the silly question.

LaVerne Jones Fubara    They probably mean turn the LID upside down. basically allowing the heat to stay in the pot but not using the steam or the pressure feature of the cooker.

Tarla Dalal    Thank you Nick for your review As the pressure cooker has been greased with oil, the naan will stick to it and not fall out so do not worry.... Do try it and let us know how it turned out.. Happy Cooking !!

Nicolas S.    Thank you for your quick response. I have an electric pressure cooker and there is a removable sleeve that I add the food to. Am I to remove that an cool direct on the side cooking surface of the PRESSURE COOKER? Thanks for clarifying.
