Dough

Method

Dough Preparation

  1. 1

    Activate Yeast

    In a small bowl, mix warm water, sugar, and active dry yeast. Let it sit for about 10 minutes until it becomes frothy.

  2. 2

    Combine Dry Ingredients

    In a large mixing bowl, combine all-purpose flour and salt.

  3. 3

    Mix Dough

    Once the yeast is activated, add the yeast mixture, yogurt, and ghee to the flour. Mix until a dough forms.

  4. 4

    Knead Dough

    Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 5-7 minutes until it is smooth and elastic.

  5. 5

    Proof Dough

    Place the dough in an oiled bowl, cover it with a damp cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for 1-2 hours or until it doubles in size.

Filling Preparation

  1. 6

    Prepare Filling

    In a mixing bowl, combine the boiled and mashed potatoes, grated cheddar cheese, chopped cilantro, finely chopped green chili, cumin powder, and salt to taste. Mix well until combined.

Assembling and Cooking Naan

  1. 7

    Divide Dough

    Once the dough has risen, punch it down and divide it into equal portions (about 8-10 balls).

  2. 8

    Stuff Naan

    Take one dough ball, flatten it slightly, and place a spoonful of the potato-cheese filling in the center. Fold the edges over the filling and pinch to seal. Gently roll it out into a flatbread.

  3. 9

    Cook Naan

    Heat a skillet or tandoor over medium-high heat. Cook each naan for about 2-3 minutes on each side or until golden brown and cooked through. Optionally, brush with ghee or butter after cooking.
