You can also sprinkle some sesame seeds or nigella seeds on the dough ball and then roll it.
Roll into a small to medium sized rounds/rotis of medium thickness.
cooking butter naan
Place the naan on a hot tava or griddle.
When the bottom is partly cooked, flip. You will see bubbles on the naan.
When the second side is cooked, remove the naan with a pair of tongs and place the side which was cooked first facing the fire.
The naan will puff up. Flip and brown the naan.

Make all naan this way. If not serving straight away, then stack them in the roti basket.
Or else you can serve these butter naan immediately.
