Ingredients

1 1/2 cups besan (Bengal gram flour)
3/4 cup plain flour (maida)
3/4 cup whole wheat flour (gehun ka atta)
1 onion, finely chopped
2 to 3 green chillies, chopped
1 tsp carom seeds (ajwain)
2 tbsp chopped corriander (dhania) or fenugreek (methi) leaves
4 tbsp ghee
salt to taste

Method

Mix together all the ingredients with enough water and make a semi-stiff dough.
Knead the dough well and keep for 1/2 hour. Knead again.
Roll out into thin rounds and cook them either in a pressure cooker or on a tava with a little ghee.
Serve hot with butter or ghee.

Pressure cooker method

Grease a pressure cooker very lightly with oil. Remove the lid from the pressure cooker and heat the cooker upside down.
Take each naan, apply a little water on one side and stick the wet side around the inside of the pressure cooker till brown spots appear. You can apply 3 to 4 naans at a time inside the walls of the pressure cooker.
Remove and apply butter.
Serve hot.
