Filling

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Chicken Tikka

    In a bowl, mix diced chicken with yogurt, garam masala, cumin powder, paprika, ginger-garlic paste, and salt. Let it marinate for at least 30 minutes.

  2. 2

    Cook the Chicken

    Heat a pan over medium heat and cook the marinated chicken until fully cooked, about 10-15 minutes. Stir in crumbled paneer and chopped cilantro, and cook for an additional 2 minutes. Remove from heat and allow to cool slightly.

  3. 3

    Prepare the Naan

    Roll out naan dough into flat circles. Place a generous amount of the chicken tikka filling in the center of each circle.

  4. 4

    Stuff and Seal the Naan

    Fold the edges of the naan over the filling to create a pocket, sealing it well to prevent any filling from escaping.

  5. 5

    Cook the Stuffed Naan

    Heat a skillet or tandoor over high heat. Cook each stuffed naan for about 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through.
