    1. Yes, you can use this no-yeast naan recipe to make stuffed naan as well. Just roll out the dough slightly, place the stuffing, seal it well, and then gently roll again before cooking. It works well with potato, paneer, or mixed vegetable fillings.

  1. This is my go to naan recipe, I’ve made it many times over the years and it is always fantastic.

    I’m very comfortable with yeast (I bake yeasted and sourdough breads and pastries regularly), and I’d recommend this recipe for anyone wanting to make naan even if they’re comfortable with yeast. The texture and flavor are on point with no compromise.5 stars

  2. Hi Dassana,

    I have tried your naan recipe for first time. They are very tasty and easy to prepare with easily available ingredients. Thank you very much.5 stars

  3. Hi Dassana,
    I am in same field as you home science and have started cooking since I was in 7th standard I love cooking and doing RNDs in my recipe having being following and doing your recipes for years now they have never gone wrong for me and have come out awesome especially the tadka dhal, all my family and friends are fans of it, wen I want to do something veg and see your website I just close my eyes and follow it and know I’m going the right way, thanks for sharing your recipes.

  4. Hi ….
    I tried your wheat naan with yeast recipe for tonights dinner ….turned out awesome ….the family loved it …just wanted to ask….is there any harm in using yeast ….if not then i can continue making whole wheat naans

    1. thanks jyoti. there is no harm for the body in using yeast. fyi- people from the jain community do not have yeast as yeast is a microorganism.

  5. Dassana you rescued my lunch plans today with this recipe.
    After the yeast I had on hand refused to activate, I did a quick search for a no yeast recipe. The naans turned out soft and delicious! Love that Maida could be replaced with healthier Aata. Tried with 1:1 ratio this time, plan to go full Aata next time!
    Such an easy recipe to follow- your step by step photos are a big help! I don’t know how you do it! Thanks for your efforts!5 stars

    1. thanks amrita. even the atta naans are soft and taste good. do try with full atta next time. with yeast the atta naans are more softer. by now i have got used to taking step by step pics easily and effortlessly. thanks again.

  6. Looks delicious, I will make it tomorrow to go with leftover dal which is currently simmering away for dinner . I just have a few questions :
    1. What flame for the pan – low, medium or high ?
    2. You say to partly cook the naan – roughly how long does this take for each side ? I want to be careful to do it right
    3. When it comes to putting it on the flame, what size flame- low, medium or high ? And roughly how many seconds each side?

    Thanks, I’ve printed off loads of your recipes and done many of them…they are always super tasty !5 stars

    1. thanks a lot victoria. the following answers to your query. hope they help.

      1. keep flame medium-high to high for the pan.
      2. it takes about approx one minute for one side. given a rough time as time will vary with the thickness of pan and the intensity, pressure on flame. you just need to cook till you see a few small spots puffing up in the naan. the naan should turn opaque and not get browned.
      3. high flame and roughly time taken is till the naans puff up and you see some black blisters on them. cannot give the exact time in seconds as it will depend on the intensity of flame.

  7. This is a great reciepe. I made naan for my family dinner and the naan were light fluffy and golden…yummy.

  8. I absolutely love this recipe 🙂 it works perfectly every time I make them!
    I just had to post them on my blog 🙂 thanks for sharing!

  9. Thanks for the recipe.. I have a question btw.. Is that ok if i made the dough and keep it for 2 or 3 days in a fridge…

  10. Thank you for this wonderful recipe. yesterday I prepared this naan and it was an instant hit in my family.

  11. Wow..you have made even making naan easier. thanks Dasanna. We miss only one thing – bread without yeast. Pls let us know a recipe that works for that as well.. best regards! Hare Krishna.

  12. Hi I have induction cooker can I flip just on the pan rather than on flame? Please help. Thank u Renuka .

    1. you can make naan in the convection oven. just preheat the oven to 200 degrees celsius. place the naan on a greased tray and bake till the you see golden or brown spots on top.

      1. Sorry to ask one more question again.. Do we need to keep the yogurt mixture aside for sometime?

  13. This is sooo yummy and amazing pics ..I am waiting to try it out..just a doubt before I start to make these naans. Can I halve the given ingredients for this recipe ?

  14. Thanks for this recipe, the naan turned out amazing! I have tried other recipes – whole wheat bread and banana nut cake which too turned out great. I no longer buy off the shelf bread, please keep posting excellent healthy recipes.5 stars

  15. Your recepies are just awesome… Doing wonders for Punjabi dishes. Keep up the good work. Have learned a lot from ur recepie. Thnx.4 stars

  16. It was awesome…I made it yesterday with shahi paneer and it was superhit ..thanks for this amazing recipe …

  17. Hey i just wanted to ask that i can add garlic to the ball of dough with the onion seeds ..
    And yes what’s the difference between naan with yeast and without?5 stars

      1. Thankyou so much!!! Will go perfectly with my butter chicken at tomorrow nights dinner party!

  19. Turned out to be great… Just one query though is it neccessary to cover with moist cloth? I forgot to.. Just put a pan on the dough to cover it4 stars

  20. Helo Dassana Amit
    I have made naan wtht yeast wth 2:1 atta n maida,n followed instructions exctly like u.
    They realy turnedout well.
    Which one r gud 4 health naan wth yeast or soda?
    Best wishes

    1. thanks sam. good to know this. naan with yeast is good for health than the one made with soda. for more healthy naan, only make with atta or increase its quantity.

  21. Hi Dassana,
    I have tried so many of your recipes and they have all come out great. Don’t know what I’d do without you. I want to make these Naan in my oven. Could you please tell me the oven settings for it?

    1. thanks tanvi. you can bake at the highest temperature in your oven. also if you have a baking stone its good. but if not, then just place the naans on the baking tray and bake them.

  22. I just tried making this for the first time, I’m curious, is the dough supposed to be stiff and difficult to knead? I’ve never made naan before so I have nothing to compare to, it just seemed odd. I don’t know what I did wrong.4 stars

  23. Looks great! Could I make the dough the day before, keep it in the refrigerator over night, and then cook it the next day? Thanks!

  24. I love it! I had volunteered to make naan for a (small) church meal, before realizing I didn’t have the appropriate yeast. I was so happy to come across this recipe! I mixed in fresh garlic when I kneaded with the oil, & sesame seeds when rolling out. I did multiply the recipe based off the 3-4 people, and have discovered that I am making (as I am in mid progress) near enough to feed a small army (no complaints here!). I did need to add quite a lot more liquid, but no problems with the final result! Thank you thank you thank you!!5 stars

  25. Happy dance””happy dance”””” yr recipe is awesome…. my daughter loved it..I love the way u explain and pic. R very good..keep do good recipes of us..4 stars

  26. Made this recipe twice and both times it was a super hit. I even had relatives asking for the recipe 🙂 Thank you for such amazing recipes.

  27. I love your recipe, and my grandkids love it also, and I’m going to make it again. I have a question, though. Sometimes I’m forgetful and rather ignorant at the grocery store even when taking a list with me, and have to rely on others for my trips to the store due to a disability. If I should forget to buy the yogurt (as I have done a few times already), is there a substitute I could use?5 stars

  28. Awesome recipe can’t wait to try thanks for sharing your whole wheat Naan can give a healthy diet for my daughter who is crazy after naan5 stars

  29. loved paneer makhanwala recipe, have been trying earlier for the perfect restaurant style your recipe completed my search thanks!

  30. Thank you for the amazing naan recipe.
    I tried it today and became successful.But I used a slightly modified method. I made the dough slightly soft and flattened the balls by palm instead of rolling stick and put a lid over the naan while cooking.
    Nice outcome and nice taste.5 stars

  31. I’m going to try this recipe, but I wondered if there is a way or if you have a recipe to create naan breads that have no yeast & are wheat free too?

  32. Hi Dassana, my naans puffed up like phulkas…. i wanted to have the texture as your pictures 🙁
    whr did i go wrong?

    1. sometimes they do puff like phulkas. i have one recipe of naan posted on the blog, where most of the naans puffed like phulka. if you add garlic or sesame seeds or onion seeds on top, then they won’t puff like phulka. there is nothing to worry about. if the dough leavens well, most probably, the naans will puff up.

  33. I used whole wheat sharbati atta and result was amazing. My family loved it.
    Thanks for sharing this, I used to think Naan is not possible on tawa.

    Looking forward to more Indian Bread recipes.5 stars

  34. Hey dasana,
    Today I tried 3 recipes from ur blog . Naan, paneer makhani n aamkhand. All three turned out so well . Thank so much. My husband liked it a lot and today I recieved tons of compliments .all thanks to u.

  35. This is a wonderful recipe – thank you! I’m going to be using this as the base of an Indian pizza on my site with a big ‘ol h/t to you. make sure to check it out and please share with your pals if you’re so inclined. thanks again – the pics and detail are *much appreciated!

      1. Thank you! Here’s a link to my post, with a big, HUGE h/t and thanks to you for the inspiration. I couldn’t find onion seeds at the store I visited, so I mixed it up a bit – see the page for more: http://wp.me/p317HC-9A. I hope you enjoy, and thanks again. would love a share if you see fit!

  36. Hi!
    I want to know how to prepare rolls, is it all purpose flour used for making the sheet used for veg rolls , chicken rolls available in the market ?

      1. Recently i found ur web-site n i tried matar paneer n that was superb my hubby told me its finger licking taste . Shikhi kamal4 stars

  37. I have found this website recently and haven’t stopped browsing it , trying my hand at palak paneer and naan today , so far so good , loved your presentation and skill.

  38. what is the difference between baking powder and baking soda …. as you have used both in the ingredients4 stars

    1. baking soda is pure sodium bicarbonate – when moistened releases carbon dioxide which helps in rising of baked stuff.
      baking powder contains sodium bicarbonate, an acidifying agent (cream of tartar), and also a drying agent (usually starch). same function as baking soda. however baking soda is more strong.

  39. Hi Dassana,

    I tried your recipe naan and chole recipe. Brilliant outcome!
    I tried the tava method and in the toaster too. The toaster one turned out super crispy and yummmm……
    Thanks for the awesome recipes 🙂

  40. Dear mam,
    In this recipe, you have taken 3 cups of flour. Please let me know the cup size.
    Thanks, sudeshna

    1. hi sudeshna. the cups used here are the US measuring cups. these are standard measuring cups, that is easily available in most stores. in grams it would be 240 grams of whole wheat flour and 125 grams of all purpose flour. hope this helps.

  41. Beautiful. Will be keeping this recipe close by, have been wanting to try making naan bread!
