Ingredients
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon sugar
2 tablespoons oil
2 tablespoons plain yogurt
3/4 cup warm milk
2 tablespoons butter
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
Instructions
1. In a large mixing bowl, combine flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar.
2. Add the yogurt, warm milk, and oil. Mix until a shaggy dough forms.
3. Knead the dough for 5–7 minutes until smooth and elastic. Cover and let rest for 30–40 minutes.
4. While dough rests, melt butter in a pan and cook minced garlic gently until fragrant. Stir in chopped cilantro and set aside.
5. Divide rested dough into 6 balls. Roll each into an oval or teardrop shape about 1/4 inch thick.
6. Heat a cast iron skillet until very hot. Cook each naan for 1–2 minutes on one side, flip and cook another minute on the other side.
7. Remove from pan and brush immediately with garlic butter.
8. Stack and keep covered with a towel to stay warm until serving.
Notes
Use full-fat yogurt for the best dough texture—low-fat won’t give the same softness.
Always preheat your skillet thoroughly to get those golden blistered spots.
Brushing the naan while it’s hot helps the garlic butter absorb and shine perfectly.
