Ingredients & full method

Ingredients

  • 300 g all-purpose flour, plus extra for dusting
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp sugar
  • 100 g plain yogurt
  • 80–100 ml warm water
  • 1 tbsp oil
  • 3 tbsp butter, melted
  • 2 tsp Nawabi Life Garlic Paste
  • 2 tbsp Nawabi Life Crispy Fried Garlic, lightly crushed
  • 2 tbsp chopped coriander

How to make it

  1. Mix flour, baking powder, salt and sugar. Stir in yogurt, oil and enough water to make a soft dough. Knead 5 minutes and rest covered for 30 minutes; resting time is additional to preparation time.
  2. Divide into 8 portions. Roll each into a thin oval on a lightly floured surface. Keep the other portions covered.
  3. Heat a heavy dry skillet over medium-high heat. Cook each naan for 1–2 minutes per side until puffed, spotted and cooked through. Lower heat if the surface browns before the centre cooks.
  4. In a small pan warm butter with Nawabi Life Garlic Paste over low heat for 1 minute, stirring without browning it.
  5. Brush warm naan with garlic butter. Sprinkle with coriander and Nawabi Life Crispy Fried Garlic. Serve immediately.
