Naan is a very popular restaurant dish. It is prepared in a tandoor. Due to this reason, most of the people don't prepare it at home. So today I will be sharing naan recipe that can be easily prepared at home on a tawa! 

Read the detailed recipe with step by step photos below.

Ingredients:

Maida - 2 cups

Curd - 3/4 cup add more if required

Baking soda - 1/2 Tsp Baking soda

Salt - to taste

Butter - 1 Tbsp (Optional)

Naan recipe:

Dough:

1. Mix maida, baking soda, salt and curd. 
2. Initially, add a little curd. Knead it. Add more curd whenever required. I have not used water for kneading it. 
3. Prepare a soft dough.
4. Keep it aside in a container for at least 2 hours. It will be great if you can place it in sunlight.

Naan:

1. Take a small section of the dough.
2. Roll it in oval/round shape. Use maida for dusting.
3. Heat a tawa.
4. Brush water on one side of the naan.
5. Place naan on the tawa with waterside facing downwards. Press it a little. It will ensure that naan sticks to the tawa. 
6. Flip the tawa on the gas stove and let it cook directly on the flame. Make sure that the flame is high. Refer the images below for this step.
7. Keep the tawa on the stove once naan is cooked. 
8. Apply some butter. This step is optional. 
9. Scrape naan from the tawa.
10. Naan is ready! Serve it hot with your favourite curry😋

12. Naan is ready! Serve it with your favourite curry.

Recipe Notes:

1. Do not use a non-stick pan. It is important for the naan to stick to the tawa otherwise it will fall on the stove.
2. Apply a generous amount of water on one side of the naan. 
3. Press it gently after keeping it on tawa.
4. What if after doing all this also if your naan falls on the stove? Well, don't panic. Use a pair of tongs to roast it well! 😁
