For Cooking

Method

Dough Preparation

  1. 1

    Activate Yeast

    In a small bowl, combine warm water, sugar, and yeast. Stir gently and let it sit for 5-10 minutes until frothy.

  2. 2

    Combine Ingredients

    In a large mixing bowl, combine all-purpose flour and salt. Make a well in the center and add the activated yeast mixture and oil.

  3. 3

    Knead Dough

    Mix the ingredients until they come together, then knead the dough on a floured surface for about 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic.

  4. 4

    Let Dough Rise

    Place the kneaded dough in a greased bowl, cover with a damp cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour or until it doubles in size.

Filling Preparation

  1. 5

    Prepare Filling

    In a bowl, crumble the paneer and mix in the chopped green chili, cilantro, garam masala, and salt. Ensure the filling is well combined.

Assemble and Cook

  1. 6

    Divide Dough

    Once the dough has risen, punch it down and divide it into equal portions (about 6-8). Roll each portion into a ball.

  2. 7

    Stuff Naan

    Take one dough ball and flatten it slightly. Place a spoonful of the paneer filling in the center, then fold the edges over to seal the filling inside. Gently roll it out into a circle.

  3. 8

    Cook Naan

    Heat a skillet or tawa over medium-high heat. Place the stuffed naan on the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes until bubbles form, then flip and cook for another 2-3 minutes until golden brown. Brush with butter or ghee.

  4. 9

    Serve

    Remove the naan from the skillet and serve hot with your favorite curry or chutney.
