How To Make Butter Garlic Naan At Home | Step-By-Step Butter Garlic Naan Recipe:
To put it simply, butter garlic naan is similar to the classic naan, with added flavours of fresh garlic. It is soft, fluffy, and makes for a perfect bread to pair with paneer makhani, butter chicken, dal makhani, and other such rich and creamy Punjabi recipes.
Step 1. Prepare the dough:
Take maida, salt, and baking powder in a bowl and dry mix. Then add dahi, oil, and mix. Next, gradually add water and knead until you get a soft dough. Let it rest for some time.
Step 2. Flatten the naan:
Cut small roundals from the dough and spread it out evenly on a flat base. You can sprinkle some flour on the base to ease the process.
Step 3. Add the butter-garlic:
Once the dough is flattened, brush enough butter and sprinkle freshly chopped garlic evenly. You can add some freshly chopped coriander for added flavour. Once done, fold the naan and spread it out again.
Step 4. Cook to perfection:
Heat a tawa, brush some oil, and place the flattened dough on it. Cook it on medium-low flame until both sides are done. And you have delicious butter garlic naan to be served hot.
