Prep Time: 3 Hr    |  Cook time: 15 mins    |  Makes: 6 

Ingredients

1. Maida/All pupose flour - 2 cups
2. Fresh thick curds - 1/2 cup
3. Milk,warm - 1/2 cup
4. Sugar - 1/2 tsp
5. Salt - 1 tsp
6. Baking powder - 3/4 tsp
7. Cooking soda - 3/4 tsp
8. Melted Ghee/Butter - 4 tsps

Method

1. Sieve maida with baking powder and cooking soda for 3 times.( to ensure even mixing) take the sieved flour in a bowl and make a dent in the centre. Pour milk,curd,salt,sugar in that dent.
2. Mix well after a minute,gather the flour with your finger tips and don't knead hard.Keep aside covered for 2-3 hours. (U can keep upto 7-8 hours)Knead the dough softly at the time of making and make even sized balls.The size should be larger than our chapatti making ball.
3. Dust the rolling platform generously with maida and roll it and pull one edge to make a tear shape.( I could not get that shape this time properly I don't know) Apply water on top of naan and turn over it to the hot tawa so that the water applied part sticks to the pan.
4. Cook covered in medium flame and after a minute if u open,u could see it has puffed up.Now turn the pan upside down and cook the otherside on direct flame till the other side becomes light golden in colour.If u r not comfortable in this u can simply take and put the nan in direct flame as u do for roties ,otherwise also u can turn over it in tawa itself and cook.Its your choice.But cooking in direct flame sure gives a good finish to the naan. Apply butter/ghee over both sides and serve hot.! I served with aloo gobi AngelIt is coming very very soft and please do try it and tell me how it came!!!
