Ingredients
Scale
2 naan dough pieces (150g each, 300g total)
2 tablespoons butter, melted
3 cloves garlic, finely chopped
1 tablespoon fresh cilantro, chopped
Instructions
Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 250°C (480°F).
Prepare Garlic Butter: In a small bowl, combine the melted butter, chopped garlic, and cilantro.
Assemble Naan: Place the naan dough pieces on a baking sheet. Evenly spread the garlic butter mixture over each piece, ensuring full coverage.
Bake: Transfer the baking sheet to the preheated oven. Bake for approximately 6 minutes, or until the naan edges turn golden brown.
Serve: Remove from the oven and serve warm alongside your favorite curry, dip, or enjoy as a standalone snack.
Notes
Serving Suggestions: Pair with dishes like butter chicken, lentil soup, or use as a base for naan pizzas.
Tips & Tricks: For a crispier texture, broil the naan for an additional 1-2 minutes after baking. If you prefer a softer naan, cover them with a clean kitchen towel immediately after baking to retain moisture.
Storage & Reheating: Store leftover naan in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days. To reheat, wrap in foil and warm in a preheated oven at 180°C (350°F) for about 5 minutes. Avoid microwaving, as it can make the naan chewy.
