Quick Naan

 New Indian Vegetarian total time20 mins servings6 addedDecember 2025

• 1 cup all-purpose flour (plus extra to coat kneeding surface)
• ¾ cups plain yogurt (or dairy-free vegan yogurt)
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• ¼ teaspoon salt
• (optional) 2 tablespoons melted ghee (or butter)
• (optional) 1 clove garlic

1. Mix all dry ingredients in a large bowl with a wooden spoon. Add the yogurt and mix. Use your hands to bring it all together.
2. Knead the dough for a minute it comes together in a fairly sticky ball. Add a little more flour to make it manageable.
3. Divide it into six equal pieces. Using a rolling pin roll each piece of dough onto a floured cutting board to about 6” diameter.
4. Heat a skillet or frying pan without oil until hot. Cook each flatbread for a few minutes on each side until lightly golden spots appear and it puffs up.
5. Melt the butter in the microwave or saucepan. Finely mince the garlic and stir it through the butter.
6. Brush the naan with this butter mixture and stack on a plate.

Tips

• I found the dough to be very sticky and difficult to work with. It might be easier to kneed using a food processor or mixer.
