Step‑by‑Step Instructions for Chickpea Flour Naan
  1. In a small bowl, combine nondairy milk and lemon juice, stirring gently to mix. Let this sit for 5 minutes.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together chickpea flour, whole psyllium husks, baking powder, salt, baking soda, and optional garlic powder.
  3. Pour the milk mixture into the dry ingredients along with the vegetable oil. Stir until a cohesive dough forms.
  4. Divide the dough into 3 equal portions, roll into balls, and flatten gently on a floured surface.
  5. Preheat a nonstick skillet over medium-high heat and lightly coat with nonstick cooking spray or oil.
  6. Place the flattened naan into the skillet. Cook for about 1-2 minutes until golden, then flip and repeat.
  7. Transfer the cooked naan to a plate and cover with a towel to keep warm. Repeat with remaining dough.
  8. Serve warm with your favorite curries or as a snack!
