Ingredients

• 2 cups All-purpose flour
• 1.5 teaspoons Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 0.75 cups Plain yogurt
• 0.25 cups Milk
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil (or melted butter, for brushing)
• 1 clove Garlic (optional, minced or powdered)
• 2 tablespoons Fresh cilantro (optional, chopped)

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt until combined.

Step 2

Add the yogurt and milk to the dry ingredients. Mix to form a soft dough.

Step 3

Lightly flour a surface and knead the dough for 3-4 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic.

Step 4

Cover the dough with a damp cloth and let it rest for 10 minutes.

Step 5

After resting, divide the dough into 6 equal portions and roll each portion into a ball.

Step 6

On a lightly floured surface, roll out each dough ball into an oval or circle around 1/4-inch thick.

Step 7

Heat a non-stick skillet or cast-iron pan over medium-high heat. Do not add any oil to the pan.

Step 8

Place one rolled-out dough piece in the hot pan. Cook for 1-2 minutes or until bubbles appear on the surface and the bottom is golden brown.

Step 9

Flip the naan and cook the other side for another 1-2 minutes until lightly charred in spots.

Step 10

Once cooked, remove from the pan and immediately brush with olive oil or melted butter. If desired, sprinkle with minced garlic or fresh cilantro.

Step 11

Repeat the cooking process for the remaining dough balls.

Step 12

Serve warm with your favorite curries, dips, or stews.
