[tscii]Selviem, this is how we make naan in our house.

NAAN BREAD

Ingredients:

500 grms all purpose flour
30 grms dry yeast
6 tbs curds
1 tsp salt
1 tsp sugar
2 tbs melted ghee
¾ cup warm water.

Method:
Dissolve sugar in the warm water.
Add yeast, yeast should froth.
In a bowl sift in the flour, and salt.
Make a well in the centre, add in the curds,
ghee and the yeast mixture.
Knead well until it forms a dough.
Shape into a ball, add little more flour if it is sticky.
Knead until elastic.

Coat a separate bowl with oil, and roll dough into it
until fully coated with the oil.
Cover with a damp cloth and keep in a warm place.
After 2 or 3 hours, the dough should have doubled in size.
Knead the dough and divide into around 5 equal portions.
Flatten and mould into a round naan.
Preheat oven to 230 degrees C.
Bake for about 10 minutes.
Brush with ghee and serve with green chutney, gravy or dal.
You can make plain naan or even cheese naan.

Note: You can cook this naan even on our thosai kal.
But it will not puff up as it does in an oven
