                                        Step by step procedure:



Prepare naan dough

Prepare filling for dough

Step-1 Boil potatoes in a cooker, now take boiled potatoes, mesh them. Now add all the filling ingredients in it. Add salt as per your taste.
Step-2 Make small balls out of all the prepared filling. 

Make stuffed masala naan

Step-1 Take out bowl of dough. Now take small part (big lemon size) of dough. Now with the help of rolling pin or using hands roll it in shape of puri. Now put small lemon size filling in that and close it very well. Take dry all-purpose flour and with the help of rolling pin roll it to very thin and to the desire shape. Now spread coriander leaves, chopped onion, black papper powder and ajwain on the upper part of naan(as it is masala stuffed naan). Again roll it once with rolling pin. Similarly prepare all the naan from the dough and the filling.

Step-2 


Preheat gas tandoor with covered lid on high heat for atleast 5 mins. 


Step-3 Now open the lid of gas tandoor and put naan on it, cover the lid and cook it for 2-3 mins for each sides. Open the lid of the tandoor, if naan cooked properly then take it in plate and apply butter on both sides of it… Serve hot with chole, yogurt, green chutney, tomato catch-up, vinegar onion etc..



Note: If you don’t have Gas Tandoor at home then..


Step-1 Take non-stick tava, Heat it, when tava is hot then put naan on it. Make sure to put coriander leaves side at up.


Step-2 Now spread few drops of water on upper part and then immediately cover it with transparent lid. Make flame low and cook it for few minutes.

Step- 3 Now cook for other side at low fame for few minutes. 

Step-4 When done then put naan on plate and immediately apply butter on it.



Tips:
  • Try to make thin crispy naan.
  • Do apply butter on the hot naan.
  • Adding dry maida will help to roll the naan upto more thin naan.
  • Cooking naan on non stick tava is also good option.
  • If possible use clay tandoor pot used in restaurants and dhaba for exact smell of tandoor. Gas tandoor will only provide sufficient heat, not the tandoori taste.
