- Dough
-
250 grams
strong white bread flour
-
7 grams
active dry yeast
-
1/2 teaspoon
kosher salt
-
1/2 teaspoon
granulated sugar
-
1/2 teaspoon
red chile powder (like cayenne)
-
1 teaspoon
neutral oil
-
100 grams
plain full-fat yogurt
-
70 milliliters
water, plus more as needed
-
1 tablespoon
butter or ghee, for brushing
- Spice mix
-
4
green chiles, such as jalapeños or serranos, finely chopped
-
40 grams
fresh cilantro leaves, finely chopped
-
1/2 teaspoon
ground cumin
-
1/2 teaspoon

-
1/2 teaspoon
red chile flakes
Directions
-
Put the flour into a bowl. Add the yeast to one side of the bowl and the salt, sugar, and red chile powder to the other. To the middle, add the yogurt and oil. Mix well.
-
Slowly add just enough water (or more if needed) to bring the mixture into a soft dough. Knead on a clean work surface for 5 minutes, then put the dough into a lightly oiled bowl, cover and let it rest for one hour.
-
Combine the spice mix ingredients in a small bowl.
-
Divide the dough into 8 equal portions. Taking one portion at a time, roll it on a lightly floured surface into an oval about 6 to 7 inches long.
-
Brush a tiny bit of water on the naan and sprinkle with some of the spice mix, pressing it into the dough with your fingers so that it adheres properly.
-
Heat a flat pan and cook the naan on a low to medium heat for 2 to 3 minutes. Turn it over and cook the other side for a minute or until golden.
-
Remove from the pan and spread some ghee or butter on top. Repeat the process. Serve the naan fresh and warm.
