Instructions

  • In a mixing bowl, add all-purpose flour, salt, sugar, and baking powder. Mix them all well together.
  • To the above dry mixture, add ghee/butter. Mix all the ingredients well till all the dry ingredients get well coated with the fat evenly.
  • This process is of utmost importance, as this is what gives naan its flaky texture.
  • Next step is to add the wet ingredients to create a binding. Add the Curd and slowly add lukewarm water and knead the dough.
  • The Dough should be of smooth and soft texture.
  • Cover the kneaded dough with a clean kitchen towel or a cling wrap.
  • Allow the dough to rest for 30 minutes. This helps the dough to stretch well when rolled.
  • While the dough is resting, Let's prepare the stuffing.
  • In a bowl, take the mashed potatoes, minced garlic, finely chopped green chilies, chopped onions and coriander leaves.
  • Season them with roasted cumin powder, red chili powder, salt, dry mango powder and coriander powder.
  • Mix all the ingredients well and the stuffing for the naan is ready.
  • After 30 mins, place the dough on the counter and knead it again.
  • Take a rolling pin and roll the dough into a rectangular sheet.
  • Apply a layer of ghee/ butter evenly on the rolled sheet. Dust some dry flour on it and gently fold it from both sides lengthwise.
  • Again, apply some ghee and dust some dry flour and fold it again into a cylindrical shape.
  • The above steps help in forming layers of the naan and make it flaky.
  • Cover the shaped dough with a cling wrap and refrigerate it. The dough is refrigerated at this stage to stabilize the fat.
  • Rest the dough for 15 mins. Preheat the oven to 200 ° Celcius at this stage.
  • Divide the dough into 6 equal portions. Using hands, spread each portion of the dough.
  • Place some stuffing at the center of the dough. Seal the edges of the dough.
  • Roll the stuffed dough into a circular disc. Make sure it is rolled evenly and the stuffing does not come out.
  • Take a baking tray. Line it with a parchment paper, to ensure the naan does not stick to your baking tray.
  • Place the shaped naan on the baking tray.
  • Place it on a preheated oven and bake it for 18 minutes at 200 ° Celcius.
  • After the naan is baked, take it out of the oven.
  • Generously, apply butter to the baked naan. Using your hands crush it. This will ensure separate the layers of naan that were formed.
