Ingredients
170 g all-purpose flour
1 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp sugar
100 g plain yogurt
60 ml warm milk
30 g unsalted butter (melted)
2 cloves garlic (minced)
1 tbsp chopped cilantro (optional)
Instructions
1. In a large bowl, combine flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and sugar.
2. Add yogurt and warm milk gradually, mixing until a dough forms.
3. Knead the dough for 5–6 minutes until soft and smooth.
4. Cover and rest the dough at room temperature for 1 hour.
5. Divide dough into 6 equal pieces. Roll each into an oval or teardrop shape about 1/4 inch thick.
6. Heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Cook each naan for 1–2 minutes on each side until golden spots appear.
7. Mix melted butter with garlic. Brush on hot naan and top with cilantro if using.
Notes
Letting the dough rest makes it easier to roll and improves the texture.
You can double the garlic butter for an extra bold flavor.
