Tawa butter naan

Introduction:
"Butter Naan" is one of the most popular indian bread. Mostly I get the chance to eat them in parties or in hotels. I'm really fond of it. So i thought to make them on my own but oopppss.....I don't have an oven or tandoor. Uppsss.. what to do now? I thought to make them on usual tawa and TADA..It was really good and mmmmm..tastes almost simliar like grilled or baked naan...Try to make it in this way if you don't have oven and enjoy the Naans any time at your home itself.

Ingredients:
Refined flour(Maida): 500 gm
Curd: 1 cup(preferably a day old)
Baking powder: 1 tsp
Soda bicarbonate: 1/2 tsp
Milk- 2 cups
Oil: 1 tsp
Dry yeast: 1/2 tsp or ENO fruit salt: 2 tsp
Salt: to taste
Sugar: 1 tsp
Butter: for greasing
Corriander leaves: for garnishing(chopped)

Serve for: 5 persons
Preparation time: 15 mins

Method:
Take the dry yeast and put in warm water for 2 mins. If you don't have dry yeast then Eno fruit salt is a very good option. mix the fruit salt in water and add to the flour. Sieve the flour, baking powder and sodabicarbonate together. Add curd, oil, yeast, salt, sugar and milk into it. Add fruit salt into it. kneed the dough. add water if necessary. kneed the dough properly so that it will get smooth and soft. cover it with a wet cloth and keep at some warm place for 45 mins.

The dough will ferment and will get doubled. Heat the tawa. Take small balls of the dough and roll into a chapati. Now fold it to give it a shape of triangle. roll again and make a thin chapati.Use some refined flour to avoid sticking of naan on plate. place the naan on tawa and roast it from both sides . Tawa should be on high flame. Roast the naan properly but do not overdo it. It should be a light roasting.sprinkle some water on tawa ,if it is too hot.
Apply butter on the naan.Sprinkle some corriander leaves and cut into 2-3 pieces.

Serve the hot butter naan with any curry or dry veg.

TIPS:
1. If you have oven or tandoor , you can roast the naan in it.
2. You can add 1 or 2 eggs to make it more soft and light.
3. Eno fruit salt is a very good option to add, if you are in hurry.
4. Always roast the naan on high flame and it takes very little time for the naan to be cooked . hence do it fast. otherwise it may get a lilltle hard, if you will keep it for long.
