How to proceed

Divide the dough and stuffing into 10 equal portions.
Roll out a portion of the dough into a 75 mm. (3”) diameter circle using a little plain flour for rolling.
Place a portion of the stuffing in the center of the circle.
Bring together all the sides in the center and seal tightly.
Roll again into a circle of 50 mm. (2”) diameter circle with a little plain flour for rolling.
Heat a non-stick tava (griddle) and place the naan over it.
Cook it on one side till it puffs slightly and then turn over.
Cook it on the other side till it puffs a little and then roast it on an open flame till it turns golden brown in colour from both the sides.
Repeat steps 2 to 8 to make 9 more naans.
Brush each naan with ½ tsp butter and serve immediately.
