Mix all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt in a bowl.

Gradually add yogurt and milk, mixing until a dough forms.

Knead the dough on a floured surface until smooth, about 5-7 minutes.

Cover the dough and let it rest for 30 minutes.

Heat ghee in a pan over medium heat.

Sauté chopped onion until translucent, about 3-4 minutes.

Add minced garlic, ginger, and green chili; cook until fragrant, about 1 minute.

Stir in chicken mince, cumin, coriander, salt, and pepper; cook until chicken is browned and cooked through, about 8-10 minutes.

Remove from heat and mix in chopped cilantro; let the filling cool.

Divide the dough into equal portions and roll each into a circle.

Place a spoonful of chicken filling in the center of each circle.

Fold the dough over the filling to create a pocket and seal it well.

Roll out the stuffed dough gently into a flat naan shape.

Bake in a preheated oven or cook on a hot skillet until golden and puffed, about 2-3 minutes per side.
