INGREDIENTS
2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons plain yogurt
1/4 cup milk (adjust as needed)
2 tablespoons melted butter or ghee
2 garlic cloves, minced
2 tablespoons fresh coriander, chopped
Extra flour for rolling
PREPARATION STEPS
Make the Dough:
In a large bowl, mix the flour, baking powder, baking soda, sugar, and salt.
Add the yogurt and milk gradually, mixing until the dough comes together.
Knead the dough for 5-7 minutes until soft and pliable. Cover with a damp cloth and let it rest for 30 minutes.
Prepare the Garlic Butter:
In a small bowl, mix the melted butter or ghee with minced garlic and chopped coriander. Set aside.
Shape the Naan:
Divide the dough into 6 equal portions and roll them into balls.
Using a rolling pin, flatten each ball into an oval or round shape, about 1/4 inch thick.
Cook the Naan:
Heat a skillet or cast-iron pan over medium-high heat until hot.
Place the naan on the skillet and cook for 1-2 minutes, until bubbles form on the surface. Flip and cook the other side for another 1-2 minutes.
Add the Garlic Butter:
Remove the naan from the skillet and immediately brush with the garlic butter mixture.
Serve:
Serve the naan warm with your favorite curries, dips, or as a standalone snack.
