Naan is an Indian flat bread that is usually made in Tandoor or oven. Here is an easy,fluffy and soft naan recipe on stove top. Simply follow the steps and start making in your own kitchen. Here i'm using pressure cooker for cooking naan; You can also try it on a cast iron skillet at high heat.
Ingredients:
  1. All purpose flour-2 cup
  2. Wheat flour-1 cup
  3. Active dry Yeast-1 1/4 tsp
  4. Sugar- 3/4 tsp
  5. Salt-to taste
  6. Warm milk- 1/4 cup (or water)
  7. Yogurt- 1/4 cup
  8. Oil-1tbsp
  9. Butter / Ghee- enough to apply on naan
  10. Sesame seeds- ¼ cup
  11. Coriander leaves chopped- 1/2 cup
Preparation:
  • Mix yeast and sugar  in warm milk. Let it rest for 15 minutes to bubble.
  • Mix flours in a bowl; add salt; yogurt and oil. Mix well by crumbling it.
  • Add the yeast mix little by little and knead well to form smooth dough. (add more water if needed).
  • Touch up it with little oil,Cover it and rest for 1 hour or until rises.
  • After that; Make large balls with it (almost double the size of chapathi/paratha balls).
  • Roll a ball in to  circle (using a rolling pin and by dusting flour); sprinkle 1 tsp of sesame seeds and a tablespoon of coriander leaves on top of it and roll further to an oval or circle shaped naan having little thickness.
  • Now place a pressure cooker (by removing its lid) on the stove top as in inverted position (as shown in the picture below).
  • Heat on high flame and apply a teaspoon of butter on its bottom.
  • Cook the naan inside it until both sides get cooked and having little browned.
