Ingredients

• 300 grams All-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon Baking powder
• 150 grams Low sodium plain yogurt
• 100 milliliters Warm water
• 1 teaspoon Granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoon Active dry yeast
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil
• 50 grams Raisins
• 50 grams Unsalted almonds
• 50 grams Unsalted cashews
• 30 grams Unsweetened shredded coconut
• 2 tablespoons Honey
• 2 tablespoons Melted unsalted butter

Directions

Step 1

In a small bowl, combine warm water and sugar. Sprinkle the yeast over the top and let it stand for about 10 minutes until it becomes frothy.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour and baking powder. Add the yogurt, olive oil, and the activated yeast mixture. Mix until a soft dough forms.

Step 3

Transfer the dough onto a floured surface and knead for about 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic.

Step 4

Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover with a damp cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour or until doubled in size.

Step 5

Meanwhile, prepare the filling by finely chopping the raisins, almonds, and cashews. In a bowl, combine the chopped nuts and raisins with the shredded coconut and honey. Mix thoroughly to form a cohesive filling mixture.

Step 6

Once the dough has risen, punch it down and divide it into 4 equal portions.

Step 7

Roll each portion into a ball and flatten slightly. Place a tablespoon of the filling in the center of each dough ball. Seal the edges and gently roll each into a teardrop or oval shape.

Step 8

Preheat a skillet or cast-iron pan over medium-high heat.

Step 9

Cook each naan for about 2-3 minutes on one side until bubbles form and the underside is golden brown. Flip and cook the other side for another 2 minutes.

Step 10

Brush the hot naan with melted unsalted butter before serving.
