Ingredients
- 1½ tablespoons garlic paste
- 1 tablespoon chopped garlic + to sprinkle
- 2 cups refined flour + for dusting
- ½ teaspoon baking powder
- ¼ teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon powdered sugar
- 1 tablespoon yogurt
- 1 tablespoon finely chopped coriander leaves + to sprinkle
- ¾ cup milk
- 1 tablespoon oil
- Melted butter as required
Method
- Sift refined flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt into a deep bowl.
- Add sugar, garlic paste, yogurt, chopped garlic and coriander leaves to the flour mixture. Add milk and knead into a medium soft dough. Apply oil all over the surface, cover with a damp muslin cloth and set aside for at least 1 hour.
- Punch the dough with your hands to make it soft and pliable and divide into 8 equal portions and shape them into balls. Cover with a damp muslin cloth and let it rest for 1 hour more.
- Flatten each dough ball between your palms, apply a little melted butter and dust with some flour. Roll into a ball again and keep them covered for 15 minutes.
- Preheat oven to 250° C.
- Roll each dough ball on a floured surface into a 5-6 inch diameter disc. Pull it from one end to get the elongated shape of a naan. Apply some water on the surface and sprinkle chopped garlic and keep them – 2-3 at a time - on a baking tray.
- Keep the tray in the preheated oven and cook for 8-10 minutes.
- Remove from the oven, apply melted butter, sprinkle coriander leaves and serve hot.
- Note: Naans can also be cooked on a tawa by moistening them on either side with a little water while cooking.
