Baking Powder ½ tsp
Baking soda ½ tsp
Salt ½ tsp
Sugar 2tsp
Yogurt ¼ cup
Milk 2 tbsp
Luke warm water ½ cup
Ghee 1 tbsp
Maida for rolling naans.
Method:
- Mix the flour, baking powder, baking soda, sugar and salt.
- Add milk, Luke warm water and yogurt into the flour and knead well into medium soft.
- Apply a little oil and keep it under wet cloth for 2 hours. After 2 hours take the dough and again knead for three to four minutes.
- Make equal sized balls. Apply a little oil. Make a round flat shape. Pick in hand and pat to give it a round shape four inches diameter. Stretch it from one side to give a triangular shape (tear shape)
- Place it on the hot cast iron plate or tawa and cook on one side for a minute. Flip it over and cook the other side. Reduce heat and cook on both sides on low heat till brown.
- Take Naan out of the griddle and brush lightly with clear butter or ghee.
