Steps for Tandoori Butter Naan (No Oven No Tandoor)

• In a bowl, take all-purpose flour and add sugar, salt, baking powder, baking soda and oil. • Note – Sieve the all purpose flour well before adding to filter out any impurities. • Mix all the ingredients well. Add curd and mix again. • Note – Curd should be at room temperature. • Add lukewarm water gradually and knead the ingredients into soft dough. • Knead the dough thoroughly for 4 to 5 minutes. • Apply some oil over it and cover with a damp cloth and set aside for 2 to 3 hours in a warm place. • Check the dough and its softness. Knead for 2 minutes. • Grease both palms with oil and cut the dough into equal parts/ balls. • Note – The size of dough ball should be little more than the one taken for Indian bread. Tandoori Naan is bit thicker than the Indian bread (roti). • Cover the dough balls and let them rest for 5 minutes. • Turn on the flame on high flame and heat the pan. • Dust the dough ball into all purpose flour. Flatten the ball using a rolling pin. • Dust off the extra flour from the naan/ roti. Sprinkle some coriander leaves on the surface of naan and stick them on it by pressing with rolling pin. • Wash another side of the naan with water. Stick the same side of the naan on the pan. • Note – water is greased on one side of the naan so that it sticks well on the pan. • Turn down the flame and put the naan on the pan. • Note – Check the pan is heated well before putting the naan on it. Remember to stick the damp side of the naan on the pan. • Cook the naan for about a minute on medium flame. • When you see air bubbles forming on the naan, flip the pan (tawa) and cook the surface of naan directly on the flame. • Keep moving the pan over the flame so that the naan is cooked. • Turn to the other side and see if it has been cooked up well. • Apply some butter on the top surface and serve them hot with any Indian curry.
