Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 1 teaspoon Sugar
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.75 cup Plain Greek yogurt
- 0.25 cup Milk
- 2 tablespoons Butter (melted) or olive oil
- 2 cloves Garlic (optional, finely minced)
- 2 tablespoons Fresh cilantro (optional, chopped)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt.
Add the Greek yogurt and milk to the dry ingredients and mix until a rough dough forms.
Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and knead gently for 2-3 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic.
Divide the dough into 6 equal portions and roll each portion into a ball. Cover with a clean kitchen towel and let rest for 10 minutes.
Heat a skillet or non-stick frying pan over medium-high heat. Do not add any oil or butter at this stage.
On a lightly floured surface, roll out one dough ball into an oval or round shape about 1/4 inch thick.
Place the rolled-out dough onto the hot skillet. Cook for 1-2 minutes on one side until bubbles form and golden brown spots appear. Flip and cook for another 1-2 minutes.
Remove the naan from the pan and immediately brush one side with melted butter (or olive oil) and sprinkle with minced garlic or chopped cilantro, if using.
Repeat with the remaining dough balls, rolling and cooking one at a time.
Serve warm with your favorite curry, dip, or as a side dish.
