Ingredients

• 2.5 cups All-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 1 cup Boiled and mashed potatoes
• 0.5 cup Plain yogurt
• 0.25 cup Milk
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 0.25 cup Warm water
• 1 tablespoon Minced garlic (optional)
• 2 tablespoons Fresh cilantro, chopped (optional for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt. Whisk together to ensure even distribution.

Step 2

Add boiled and mashed potatoes to the flour mixture, breaking up any lumps with your fingers or a fork.

Step 3

In a separate bowl, mix together the yogurt, milk, olive oil, and warm water. Stir until smooth and well combined.

Step 4

Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, mixing them with a fork or spatula until a dough begins to form.

Step 5

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

Step 6

Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover it with a damp cloth, and let it rest for about 15-20 minutes to allow the gluten to relax.

Step 7

Divide the dough into 8 equal pieces and shape each piece into a ball. Keep the balls covered with a damp cloth to prevent them from drying out as you work.

Step 8

On a floured surface, roll each ball into an oval shape, approximately 1/4 inch in thickness.

Step 9

Heat a non-stick skillet or cast-iron pan over medium-high heat. Once hot, place a rolled naan onto the skillet.

Step 10

Cook for 1-2 minutes or until bubbles start to form on the surface and the bottom is golden brown.

Step 11

Flip the naan and cook the other side for an additional 1-2 minutes. Optional: brush with minced garlic as it cooks for a garlic-flavored naan.

Step 12

Remove the naan from the skillet and transfer it to a plate. Cover with a clean cloth to keep warm.

Step 13

Repeat the process with the remaining dough.

Step 14

Garnish the naan with chopped cilantro before serving, if desired. Enjoy warm with your favorite dish.
