Ingredients

• 2 pieces Medium Potatoes, boiled and mashed
• 1 cup Whole Wheat Flour
• 0.5 cup Chickpea Flour
• 0.5 cup Plain Greek Yogurt
• 0.25 cup Warm Water
• 1 teaspoon Active Dry Yeast
• 1 teaspoon Sugar
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 2 tablespoons Olive Oil
• 0.5 teaspoon Garlic Powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Ground Cumin
• 2 tablespoons Cilantro, chopped

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, add mashed potatoes, whole wheat flour, chickpea flour, Greek yogurt, salt, olive oil, garlic powder, and ground cumin.

Step 3

Pour the yeast mixture into the flour mixture. Stir until a sticky dough forms.

Step 4

Flour a clean surface and knead the dough for about 5 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic. If necessary, add a little more flour to keep it from sticking.

Step 5

Oil the mixing bowl lightly and place the dough back into it. Cover with a damp cloth and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour or until it doubles in size.

Step 6

Once risen, punch down the dough and divide it into 6 equal portions.

Step 7

Roll each portion into a ball, then flatten into an oval or round shape using a rolling pin, about 1/4 inch thick.

Step 8

Heat a skillet or a non-stick pan over medium-high heat.

Step 9

Place the rolled dough onto the hot skillet. Cook until bubbles appear on the surface, and the bottom is golden brown, about 2-3 minutes.

Step 10

Flip the naan and cook the other side until browned and cooked through, about another 2 minutes.

Step 11

Remove from the skillet, and immediately brush with a bit of olive oil. Sprinkle with chopped cilantro for garnish.

Step 12

Repeat the process for the remaining pieces of dough.

Step 13

Serve warm as a side or enjoy as a wrap with your favorite fillings.
