  • Butter (melted)4 tbsp

Steps

  1. 1

    Activate yeast in warm milk with sugar. Let it sit for 5-10 minutes until frothy.

  2. 2

    In a large bowl, combine flour, baking powder, and salt. Make a well in the center.

  3. 3

    Add the activated yeast mixture and yogurt to the well. Mix to form a soft dough, adding water as needed.

  4. 4

    Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface for 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic.

  5. 5

    Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover, and let it rise in a warm place for 1-2 hours, or until doubled in size.

  6. 6

    Punch down the dough and divide it into 6-8 equal portions. Roll each portion into a ball.

  7. 7

    On a lightly floured surface, roll out each ball into an oval or teardrop shape, about 1/4 inch thick.

  8. 8

    Heat a cast-iron skillet or tawa over medium-high heat. Cook the naan for 1-2 minutes per side, until puffed and lightly browned.

  9. 9

    In a small bowl, mix melted butter with minced garlic and chopped cilantro. Brush this garlic butter mixture generously over the cooked naan.
