Ingredients
- 250 grams Whole wheat flour
- 1 teaspoon Active dry yeast
- 1 teaspoon Sugar
- 125 milliliters Warm water
- 2 tablespoons Low-fat yogurt
- 3 cloves Minced garlic
- 1 teaspoon Red chili flakes
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Chopped cilantro
Directions
Step 1
In a small bowl, mix the active dry yeast and sugar with warm water. Let sit for about 10 minutes until it becomes frothy.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, combine the whole wheat flour and salt.
Step 3
Add the yeast mixture and the low-fat yogurt to the flour and mix until it forms a dough.
Step 4
Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface for about 5-7 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic.
Step 5
Place the kneaded dough back into the bowl and cover it with a damp cloth. Let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour, or until it has doubled in size.
Step 6
Once risen, punch down the dough to release air and add minced garlic, olive oil, and red chili flakes. Knead for another 2 minutes to incorporate the ingredients evenly.
Step 7
Divide the dough into 4 equal portions and roll each portion into a ball. Let them rest for another 10 minutes.
Step 8
Preheat a non-stick skillet over medium heat.
Step 9
On a lightly floured surface, roll each dough ball into an oval shape about 1/4 inch thick.
Step 10
Place one rolled naan onto the hot skillet and cook for about 2 minutes until bubbles form on the surface.
Step 11
Flip the naan and cook on the other side for another 1-2 minutes until golden brown spots appear.
Step 12
Remove from the skillet and repeat with remaining dough portions.
Step 13
Before serving, sprinkle each naan with chopped cilantro.
