Method

Preparation and Cooking Steps

Prepare the Dough

In a mixing bowl, combine warm water, sugar, and yeast. Let it sit for about 5-10 minutes until frothy. In another bowl, mix flour and salt. Make a well in the center, add yogurt and the yeast mixture. Knead into a soft dough, adding oil as needed. Cover and let it rise for 1-2 hours until doubled in size.

Prepare the Cheese Filling

In a bowl, combine mozzarella cheese, cheddar cheese, chopped cilantro, and green chili. Mix well and set aside.

Shape the Naan

Once the dough has risen, punch it down and divide it into equal portions. Roll each portion into a ball, then flatten it slightly. Place a generous amount of cheese filling in the center and fold the dough over to seal. Roll it out gently to form a naan shape.

Cook the Naan

Preheat a tandoor or a skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the naan on one side until bubbles form, then flip and cook until golden brown. Optionally, brush with melted butter or ghee before serving.

Serve

Serve hot with your favorite curry or chutney.
