Naan Recipe is Indian bread, which is liked in-house but is also famous in abroad. Any part of world, where Indian food is popular, there Naan is always offered. These are prepared with refined flour (maida) and it pair nicely with all Indian vegetarian and non vegetarian curries.
Ingredients and cooking method is important of making good quality Naan . I keep the prepared dough for few hours it gives softness in Naan. Traditionally, Naan is prepared on clay oven. Due to unavailability of clay oven in urban areas now days it is prepared in electric tandoor or gas tawa/ griddle.
In Butter Naan, little butter is added in flour and then a layer of butter is applied on cooked Naan.
