Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Whole wheat flour
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.75 cup Low-fat Greek yogurt
- 0.25 cup Warm water
- 1 teaspoon Olive oil
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 0.5 teaspoon Red chili flakes
- 1 tablespoon Fresh cilantro, chopped
- 2 tablespoons Low-fat milk
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine whole wheat flour, baking powder, and salt. Mix well.
Make a well in the center and add low-fat Greek yogurt, warm water, and olive oil.
Mix the ingredients together until you get a soft dough. If needed, add a little more water, a tablespoon at a time, until the dough comes together.
Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead for about 5 minutes until smooth and elastic.
Cover the dough with a damp cloth and let it rest for 15 minutes.
While the dough is resting, combine minced garlic, red chili flakes, and chopped cilantro in a small bowl. Set aside.
After resting, divide the dough into 4 equal portions. Roll each portion into a ball.
On a lightly floured surface, roll out each dough ball into an oval shape, about 1/4 inch thick.
Brush each naan with a little milk and sprinkle evenly with the garlic-chili-cilantro mixture.
Preheat a large nonstick skillet or griddle over medium heat.
Place one naan at a time in the hot skillet. Cook for about 2-3 minutes on one side until you see bubbles forming on top.
Flip the naan and cook for another 2 minutes or until the other side is golden brown and cooked through.
Remove the naan from the skillet and keep warm by wrapping it in a clean kitchen towel while you cook the remaining naan.
Serve warm as a side dish or to accompany your favorite curry or stew.
