Method

For the dough

To make {span class="bold1"}chilli cheese naan recipe{/span}, combine 2 pinches of salt and little water in a small bowl. Mix well and keep aside.
In a deep bowl, add plain flour, curd, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt and oil.
Knead into a soft dough using ¼ cup warm water. Cover with a damp muslin cloth and keep aside in a warm place for 1 hour.
Once rested, divide the dough into 6 equal portions.

How to proceed

Divide the stuffing into 6 equal portions. Keep aside.
Roll out a portion of the dough into a 75 mm. (3 inch) diameter circle using a little plain flour for rolling.
Place a portion of the stuffing in the center of the circle. Bring together all the sides in the center and seal tightly.
Flatten a little and sprinkle black sesame seeds and coriander over it.
Roll again into a circle of 175 mm. (7 inch) diameter oblong shape with a little plain flour for rolling.
Heat a non-stick tava (griddle) on a high flame and when hot, sprinkle the salt-water and do not wipe it.
Apply water on one side of the rolled roti and place the wet side facing downwards gently on a hot tava.
Cook it till small blisters appear on the surface. Flip the tava on an open flame and cook again while rotating the tava till brown spots appear.
Remove from the flame and apply 1 tsp tsp of butter. Repeat steps 2 to 8 to make 5 more naans.
