The Butter Naan is a favorite Indian flatbread that is loved by everyone to enjoy with our paneer curries. Naan is usually made with milk, curd, sugar, salt, all-purpose flour, and yeast or baking powder and soda. Naan is usually cooked in tandoor, However, in this recipe, I’ve shown how to make Naan without tandoor on a Tawa, so you will learn how to make soft butter naan at home on a Tawa or Skillet directly on stovetop flame by placing it upside down. Naan is eaten with curry, especially paneer curries like Paneer butter masala, and Paneer Tikka Masala. They are also available in many flavors and textures. The dough to make Naan is usually made using yeast as it is the quick and easy way, but I haven’t used yeast to make Naan in this recipe and instead used baking powder and baking soda. I also used kalonji and coriander to make it more flavourful.
Follow the step-by-step instructions to make this flavourful and soft Butter Naan on a Tawa without yeast.

How to Make Butter Naan – (Step-by-Step Instructions)
1. Take a mixing bowl. Add 1/2 cup curd. The curd should not be chilled and must be at room temperature.
2. Add the following ingredients:
1/4 cup of milk
1 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp baking soda
1 tsp sugar
1 tsp salt
2 tsp refined oil
3. Mix everything well using a whisker to create a lump-free mixture.
4. Add 3 cups of all-purpose flour.
5. Gradually add water in small quantities and make a soft dough. Do not add a lot of water at once or else the dough may become too sticky.
6. Grease the same bowl with refined oil and keep the dough inside. Apply some refined oil to the dough too. Keep a wet cloth to cover the dough and keep it for 30 minutes.
7. After 30 minutes, grease your hands with oil and knead the dough for a few minutes.
8. Divide the dough into small parts. Make small balls out of the dough. This will help you make Naan easily. Make sure to keep the size of the balls as per the size of the Naan you prefer. I’m making medium size Naan.
9. Take a ball and apply some flour over it.
10. Roll it to give it a roti-like shape.
11. Apply kalonji and some coriander leaves on one side. Roll it so that it may stick well with the dough.
12. Next, give it a Naan-like shape by rolling and stretching one side with your hands.
13. Apply water on the other side so that it would stick well to the Tawa.
14. Take a Tawa. Heat it on high flame. Apply some water to balance the heat. Place the Naan on the Tawa.
15. When the bubbles have formed, we would press the Naan on the Tawa and lift it.
16. Now, we will directly roast the Naan over the flame and cook it.
17. Apply butter to the Naan.
18. The butter Naan is ready. Transfer it to a plate.
19. Enjoy the soft Butter Naan with any Paneer curry dishes.
