on Nov 08, 2023 Some of my favorite recipes are the ones that are the result of several brainstorms and testing stages. The recipes with names you’d never heard of before (I mean, what is a naan bomb anyway!?)! I love when I can just be creative in the kitchen, and that’s how these Achari Paneer Naan Bombs were born. This recipe brings together some of my favorite things, just reimagined in terms of presentation and serving. You’ve got a quick and simple achari paneer filling that’s made with some grated paneer, boiled potato, grated cheese, chopped coriander, chaat masala, salt, kasuri methi and achar masala (literally masala from aam ka achaar). And then you’ve got naan dough wrapped around it to resemble a ball – which we finally fire up in the Ooni Pizza Oven (a regular oven works too and I have instructions in the recipe card below) to get that tandoor-esque char. Brush it off with some garlic chilli butter for a little extra, and it’s ready! The result is what I like to call a ‘naan bomb’, enjoyed best as a snack – pulled apart by hands and dunked into some mint chutney. These stuffed naans are a total crowd-pleaser, kiddos and grown-ups alike devour these whole! You need to add this to your to-make list!
Richa’s Top Tricks to Make the Best Achari Paneer Naan Bombs
Make sure when you roll out the naan dough it’s not too thick – about 1/8 inch thickness is optimum. Uneven, chunky dough could cause the filling to spill out when baked. We also don’t want any extra doughy bits!
I love topping this with some garlic chilli butter after baking. It really just takes this up a notch!
