1 Induction Cooktop
1 Tawa

Ingredients

2 cups All-purpose Flour or Maida
Salt to taste
1 tsp Castor Sugar
2 tbsp Vegetable oil
2-2½ tbsp Sour Curd
1 cup Milk
½ tsp Baking Soda
1-2 tbsp Garlic finely Chopped
2-3 tbsp Coriander leaves finely chopped
Butter
1 tbsp Sesame seeds optional

Instructions

Prepare the Dough

First, take a large mixing bowl and add all-purpose flour (Maida).
To this, add the castor sugar, salt to taste vegetable oil, and baking soda.
Mix and combine everything nicely.
Next, add the sour curd to the dry dough mix.
Slowly start to mix them.
Combine everything really well.
Heat the milk in a pan until warm.
Next, start to add the warm milk to the dough mix. Add slowly and consistently.
Keep on kneading the dough until soft and smooth. Do it for about 10 minutes.
After that, take some oil on the palm and grease the surface of the dough ball.
Cover the bowl with a wet kitchen towel and keep aside for about 1 hour. You can also let it rest for long.

Prepare the naan

After the dough has rested well, knead it once more for about 3-4 minutes.
Next, divide the dough ball into 8 small portions.
Make the portions into balls.
Next, take a rolling board and a rolling pin.
Spread some flour on the rolling board. Take a small dough ball on the board and start to roll.
Make it into a circular dish. You can even make it in an oval shape. Spread flour while rolling.
Put the finely chopped garlic, coriander leaves, and the sesame seeds. Roll it once again so that it sticks well to the dough.
Next, turn over the rolled dough and expose the other side of it.
On this empty surface apply some water. Spread it evenly but not too much. This will help to stick the dough on the tawa.

Make the naan

Now, take the tawa and turn on the flame. Keep the flame on medium.
Put the tawa on the flame and carefully place the watered side of the rolled dough on the tawa.
Slightly press it in the tawa to ensure that it sticks well.
When the upper part of the nun starts to rise well from all over, lift the pan and flip it upside down.
Move it slowly and steadily over the flame to cook the top part. Keep the flame on medium and make sure not to burn it.
Keep on moving it over the flame until the entire upper part and the edges are baked to perfection.
By now the nun will be baked well. Now, take it away from the flame and carefully separate it from the tawa by using a spatula. It will come out smoothly.
Spread butter as soon as you separate it from the tawa.
Repeat it with all the portions of dough.
