Prep Time: 10min
Fermentation Time: 2hrs
Cook Time: 20min
Total Time: 2hr 30min
Yield: 3-4 Servings

Ingredients

2 1/4 Cups Maida/Refined Wheat Flour
2 Tspn Active Dry Yeast
1 Tspn Sugar
1/2 Tspn Salt
1/2 Cup Yogurt(Curd)
1 Tblspn Oil
1/2 Cup Warm Water
2 Tspn Garlic Cloves, minced
2-3 Tblspn Butter

Directions

• Dissolve sugar & yeast in warm water in a mixing bowl. Let stand until yeast softens & begins to form a foam, about 5 minutes. 

• Add salt, oil, yogurt & mix well.

• Keep adding all purpose flour until you get a nice, soft dough (add little water if required). If it is sticky add more flour to it & cover the bowl with a plastic wrap for 2 hours to rise (dough should double in size).

• After 2 hours; place the dough on a well floured surface & make 6-8 equal size balls from the dough. Take one dough ball & flatten it using your palm.

• Using a rolling pin roll each dough into a 6-inch thick circular shaped naan(thicker than normal chapathi) on the floured surface & sprinkle 1/2 teaspoon minced garlic on top(optional). Press it gently using a rolling pin.

• Heat a tawa on medium high flame.
• Place the naan on heated tawa & once you see little bubbles, flip the naan & drizzle some butter on top. Flip again & drizzle some butter on the other side as well. Flip again & press with a spatula for a minute. 

• Transfer to a plate & cut it into two halves with a knife. 
• Serve naan with palak paneer, mushroom masala, chilli chicken, kadai veg or butter chicken.

Note: You can also use chopped onion on naan instead of minced garlic.
