Ingredients

• 250 grams Plain flour
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 1 teaspoons Baking powder
• 150 ml Low-fat plain yogurt
• 50 ml Water
• 1 tablespoons Honey
• 25 grams Flaked almonds
• 25 grams Desiccated coconut
• 25 grams Raisins
• 0.5 teaspoons Ground cardamom
• 2 seconds Cooking spray

Directions

Step 1

In a large bowl, mix the plain flour, salt, and baking powder together.

Step 2

Add the low-fat plain yogurt and water to the dry ingredients, and mix to form a soft dough.

Step 3

Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface for about 5 minutes until it is smooth and elastic.

Step 4

Place the dough back in the bowl, cover with a damp cloth, and let it rest for 15 minutes.

Step 5

While the dough is resting, prepare the filling by mixing together honey, flaked almonds, desiccated coconut, raisins, and ground cardamom in a small bowl.

Step 6

Divide the dough into four equal portions and flatten each portion into a small disk.

Step 7

Place an equal amount of the filling mixture onto the center of each disk.

Step 8

Carefully fold the edges of the dough over the filling, pinching to seal the edges, then gently roll each filled dough ball into a flat round shape without letting the filling spill out.

Step 9

Preheat a non-stick frying pan over medium heat and lightly spray it with cooking spray.

Step 10

Place one naan into the pan and cook for 2-3 minutes, or until bubbles start forming on the surface.

Step 11

Flip the naan and cook for another 2-3 minutes until golden brown and cooked through.

Step 12

Repeat this process with the remainder of the naans, using more cooking spray if necessary.

Step 13

Serve the naans warm, as a delicious accompaniment to your favorite curry or as a sweet snack.
