Method
For the dough
- Combine the plain flour, curds, sugar, baking powder, baking soda and salt in a deep bowl and mix well.
- Knead into a soft dough using warm water.
- Apply 1 tsp of oil evenly over it. Cover with a damp muslin cloth and keep aside in a warm place for atleast 1 hour.
- Divide the dough into 6 portions.
How to proceed
- To make masala paneer naan, divide the stuffing into 6 equal portions.
- Take a portion of the dough and roll in the plain flour, then using your fingers make a round vati shape.
- Put a portion of the stuffing in the centre and press it lightly, then seal it completely and roll again in plain flour.
- Roll into a 8" (200 mm. ) x 4" (100 mm. ) oval shape using a rolling pin, sprinkle ¼ tsp black sesame seeds evenly over it and roll it once more lightly so the seeds stick to the dough.
- Meanwhile, sprinkle some salt water on a hot iron tava.
- Simultaneously, also apply little water on the lower side of the naan.
- Place the naan on the tava sprinkled with salt water immediately with the naan with sesame seeds side facing upwards.
- Cook on a medium flame till you see blisters on the naan. Turn the tava upside down on an open flame and cook the naan again while rotating the tava.
- Remove from the flame and apply 1 tsp butter.
- Repeat steps 2 to 9 to make 5 more naans.
- Serve the masala paneer naan immediately with sabzi of your choice.
