Description

Fluffy, golden naan stuffed with a spiced mashed potato filling, perfect for pairing with chutney, curry, or enjoyed on its own.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon sugar
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup yogurt
  • 1/3 cup warm milk
  • 2 tablespoons oil
  • 2 large potatoes, boiled and mashed
  • 1 green chili, finely chopped
  • 2 tablespoons chopped cilantro
  • 1 teaspoon garam masala
  • 1/2 teaspoon cumin seeds
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt (for filling)
  • Ghee or butter, for brushing


Instructions

  1. In a bowl, mix flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt.
  2. Add yogurt, warm milk, and oil. Knead into a soft dough. Cover and let rest for 1 hour.
  3. For the filling, combine mashed potatoes, green chili, cilantro, garam masala, cumin seeds, and salt.
  4. Divide dough and filling into equal portions. Flatten a dough ball, place filling in the center, seal, and roll gently.
  5. Heat a skillet on medium-high. Place rolled naan on the hot pan and cook until golden brown spots appear on both sides.
  6. Brush with ghee or butter while hot and serve warm.

Notes

  • Let the dough rest for at least an hour for best texture.
  • Keep the potato filling dry to avoid tearing the naan.
  • Use a hot skillet to get that authentic charred look.
  • Store leftovers in foil and reheat on a pan or in the oven.
