Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup plain yogurt
- 1/2 cup paneer (cottage cheese), grated
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tsp sugar
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/4 cup warm water (adjust as needed)
- 2 tbsp chopped fresh coriander
- 2 tbsp melted butter or ghee
- 1 tsp cumin seeds (optional)
Instructions
- In a large bowl, combine flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar.
- Add yogurt and warm water gradually, kneading into a soft dough. Cover and let it rest for 1 hour.
- In a mixing bowl, combine grated paneer, minced garlic, chopped coriander, and a pinch of salt.
- Divide the dough into equal-sized balls.
- Roll out one dough ball into a small circle, place a spoonful of paneer mixture in the center.
- Fold the edges over the filling and seal tightly; gently roll again to form a naan shape.
- Heat a skillet or tawa over medium heat. Place the naan on it and cook until bubbles form, about 1-2 minutes.
- Flip the naan and cook the other side until golden brown spots appear.
- Brush with melted butter or ghee and sprinkle cumin seeds if using.
- Serve hot with your favorite curry or chutney.
Notes
For extra softness, you can add a tablespoon of milk to the dough and cook the naan covered for a minute on the skillet.
