In a bowl, mix warm water with sugar and yeast, and let it sit for 10 minutes until frothy.

In a separate bowl, make a well in the flour and add yogurt, salt, and oil.

Gradually add the yeast mixture to the flour mixture and mix to form a dough.

Knead the dough by hand for about 10 minutes until smooth and elastic.

Cover the dough with oil and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour.

Preheat the oven to 250°C.

Knead the dough again briefly and divide it into portions.

Roll each portion into an oval shape using a rolling pin, adding flour as needed to prevent sticking.

Place the rolled naan on a tray and brush with melted butter or ghee.

Sprinkle poppy seeds on top and bake in the oven for 3 to 4 minutes.

Drizzle more butter on top and garnish with fresh coriander before serving.
