2tablespoon yogurt

Garlic Butter Wash

2teaspoon garlicfinely chopped
1tablespoon coriander leavesfinely chopped
Instructions
In a bowl, add 2 teaspoon yeast, 2 teaspoon sugar, and ¼ cup warm water. Mix well and set aside for 10 minutes for the yeast to bloom. You will find a frothy liquid after 10 minutes. Make sure not to keep the mixture for more than 10 minutes.
In a large mixing bowl, add 3 cups of all-purpose flour, yeast mixture, 2 tablespoon yogurt, 1 teaspoon salt, and 2 tablespoons cooking oil. Mix all up before adding water.
Add 1 cup of water in small batches and keep mixing the flour until you get a big lump. Once the dough comes together, start kneading to get a smooth soft texture for at least 5 minutes.
Cover and keep the dough in a greased bowl for 1 hour or until it doubles in size in a warm place.
Garlic Butter Wash
Take ½ cup melted butter and add 2 teaspoons of finely chopped garlic and chopped coriander leaves. Mix well and set aside.
For Naan
Heat a flat pan or iron griddle on medium flame.
Divide the leavened dough into small lemon size portions. Roll out a portion into a round disc that should be slightly thicker than normal roti. With help of a fork, prick the naan all over. Apply a thin layer of garlic butter wash over the naan and place the naan on the hot pan.
Once the naan starts to form bubbles, gently turn it over on the other side. Reduce the flame and cook well on both sides.
Remove from pan and brush again with some more butter on the hot naan.
