Garlic Cheese Naan, Tava Naan Without Yeast recipe - How to make Garlic Cheese Naan, Tava Naan Without Yeast

10 tsp grated garlic (lehsun)
15 tbsp grated processed cheese
1 cup whole wheat flour (gehun ka atta)
1 cup plain flour (maida)
1 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp baking soda
1 1/2 tsp sugar
2 tbsp curds (dahi)
2 tbsp soft butter
salt to taste
whole wheat flour (gehun ka atta) for rolling
5 tsp melted butter for brushing

Method

Combine all the ingredients, except the garlic and cheese in a deep bowl and knead into a soft dough using enough water.
Cover the dough with a lid and keep aside in a warm place for 1 hour.
Knead again for 1 minute.
Divide the dough into 6 equal portions.
Roll a portion of the dough into a 125 mm. (5”) diameter circle using a little whole wheat flour for rolling.
Put 1 tsp of garlic and 1½ tbsp of cheese in the centre.
Bring together all the sides in the center and remove the excess dough and slightly flatten it.
Again roll out into a 200 mm. (8”) diameter circle using a little whole wheat flour for rolling.
Heat a non-stick tava (griddle) and place the naan, cook it on one side till it puffs slightly and then turn over.
Cook it on the other side till it puffs a little and then roast it on an open flame till it turns golden brown from both the sides.
Brush the naan with ½ tsp of melted butter evenly over it.
Repeat steps 5 to 11 to make 9 more naans.
Serve immediately.
