Preparing the Dough: In a large bowl, combine all the dry ingredients. Mix well. Gradually add water and knead into a smooth dough. Cover with a damp cloth and let it rest for 1 hour. (Time taken: 10 minutes to prepare, 1 hour resting time)
Preparing Garlic Butter: In a small bowl, mix melted butter and minced garlic. Set aside for later use. (Time taken: 2 minutes)
Dividing the Dough: Once the dough has rested, divide it into equal portions. Roll each portion into a ball and keep them covered with a cloth. (Time taken: 5 minutes)
Rolling the Naan: Take one dough ball and roll it into a flat, round shape using a rolling pin. Make sure it’s thin but not too fragile. (Time taken: 3 minutes)
Cooking the Naan: Heat a tawa or skillet over medium-high heat. Place the rolled naan onto the hot surface. Cook until bubbles form on top, then flip and cook the other side. (Time taken: 4 minutes)
Brushing with Butter/ Ghee: Once the naan is cooked, brush it generously with garlic butter while it’s still hot. Repeat the same for the rest of the dough balls. (Time taken: 1 minute per naan)
Serving the Naan: Serve the garlic naan hot with your favorite curry or dip. (Time taken: 2 minutes)
Total Time Taken: Approximately 1 hour and 20 minutes, including resting time for the dough.
