This is an authentic Indian naan recipe that's broiled instead of pan-fried. I have made it many times. It goes well with Indian curry dishes that have a lot of gravy, such as butter chicken.

Ingredients

  • warm water (110 degrees F/45 degrees C): 0.66667 cup
  • active dry yeast: 1 tsp
  • white sugar: 1 tsp
  • all-purpose flour: 2 cups
  • salt: 1 tsp

  2. Sift flour and salt three times into a large bowl. Add yeast mixture, yogurt, and 1/2 of the ghee. Mix into a soft dough, then knead on a floured surface until dough is smooth and elastic, about 5 minutes. Place dough into a large greased bowl, cover, and let stand in a warm place for 1 1/2 hours or until doubled in volume.

  4. Cover an oven tray with foil and grease the foil. Brush dough rounds with remaining ghee and sprinkle with kalonji. Cook one at a time under the broiler until puffed and lightly browned, about 2 minutes per side.
