  2. Hi Dassana, how are you?
    Great recipe, made naans today with saag and enjoyed them.
    I added fresh coriander and little bit of ajwain in the flour too.
    Thanks again for a super recipe?

  3. I’m just so bread lover. And butter naan is just the top-top for me. I’ve tried this and it was so good. The recipe is explained so well with all the tips and details. Thank you so much!5 stars

  4. Hello!
    Thanks for your beautiful recipes!
    I’ve just tried this one and the taste was awesome!
    But my naans were very dry despite the fact I put vegetable butter on top and that I covered them to keep the ‘moist’.
    I don’t have a tawa so I cooked them on a cast iron pan.
    Do you have any advice?
    Thanks a lot,
    Have a nice evening and take care.

    1. thanks. when kneading the dough add some more water. the dough should not look dry. it should be soft and pliable. cooking naans on a cast iron pan is fine. i guess this is due to the dryness in the dough.

  5. Hi Dasanna…
    I wanna try dis recipe but i have fresh yeast instead of any oder yeast…can i use dat…if yes wat difference needs to be made in d recipe..?

    1. vini, you can use 1.5 teaspoons fresh yeast. but if using fresh yeast, then dissolve it first with lukewarm water and sugar. the water should be warm. if the water is on the cooler side or hot, the yeast won’t get activated. keep the solution to proof for 10 to 15 minutes. it should become frothy and bubbly. this means that the yeast has got activated well. then mix it with the flour and other ingredients and knead to a soft dough. then follow the recipe steps.

  6. Your recipes are great, but, I have a different comment.
    I saw that you are using a non stick tawa whose upper coating has come off. This is extremely dangerous, as the industrial chemical glue that is used to fix the teflon to the tawa is extremely toxic, can even be fatal. This causes several diseases including cancers.
    It’s better not to use non stick utensils to cook. But, if you must, you must not let any scratches appear on the surface. You must use only wooden karchis and never metal ones, to scratch things off it. Take extreme care when washing them, not to cause any scratches. Use soft scratches. If you see any scratch, just throw away the non stick utensils.

    1. thanks aalok. i know about this. i am very careful with non stick pans. i use only wooden spoons or spatulas for non stick pans. also i use sponge to clean them. the one in this post is an iron tawa. its a very old tawa and one that i have been using for many years. thanks for the concern 🙂

    1. suvidha, i use mauripan/gloripan brand of instant yeast. i had purchased from here – gourmetco.in website

      but seems they do not have a supply now. still you can always ask them.

  7. I am going to spend all my time in kitchen 🙂 … I never thought that I can make these things at home…
    Thanks for sharing…

  11. Hi Dassana, thanks again for this wonderful recipe. All your recipes are so detailed.
    Can u pls tell whether we can bake this in oven instead of tawa?
    Thanks again firur amazing recipes.5 stars

    1. hi anamika, you can bake in the oven. preheat your oven at a high temperature from 210 to 250 degrees celsius. the over has to be hot or very hot. place the naans in a greased tray and bake till you see brown spots on them. timing will vary depending on the temperature you use.

      1. What I have found about cooking naan in an oven is: use a pizza stone and put under broiler. Keep watching it for black bubbles and then flip it. And keep watching it.

        1. manish, i know about this. but not all indian ovens have a broiler and pizza stone is very expensive here. thanks for sharing this info as it will help some readers who have pizza stone and broiler.
