Ingredients
Units
Scale
- :
- 1 cup self-rising flour (plus extra for dusting)
- 1/2 cup Greek yogurt (full-fat works best)
- Optional Add-ins:
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder (for garlic naan)
- 1 tablespoon melted butter or ghee (for brushing)
- 1/2 teaspoon salt (if using plain flour instead of self-rising)
- Chopped fresh herbs (like cilantro or parsley)
Instructions
- :
- Mix the dough: In a bowl, combine the self-rising flour and Greek yogurt. Stir until it forms a rough dough. If sticky, add a little more flour; if dry, add a spoonful of yogurt.
- Knead: Lightly flour a surface and knead the dough for 2-3 minutes until smooth. Let it rest for 5 minutes (optional, but helps with texture).
- Divide and shape: Cut the dough into 4-6 pieces and roll each into a small ball. Flatten each ball into an oval or circle, about ¼ inch thick.
- Cook the naan: Heat a dry pan or skillet over medium-high heat. Cook each naan for 1-2 minutes per side, until golden brown and puffy. If desired, brush with butter or ghee after cooking.
- Serve warm with curries, dips, or use as a wrap.
