ghee

🥗Healthier: olive oil

💰Cheaper: butter

Olive oil offers a healthier fat option while butter is more affordable.

buttermilk

🥗Healthier: yogurt

💰Cheaper: milk + vinegar

Yogurt adds creaminess with fewer calories, while milk + vinegar is a budget-friendly substitute.

Mix flour, yeast, sugar, and salt in a large bowl.

Warm water and milk until lukewarm, then add to the dry ingredients.

Knead the mixture until smooth and elastic, about 8-10 minutes.

Cover the dough with a damp cloth and let it rise in a warm place until doubled in size, about 1 hour.

Punch down the risen dough and divide it into equal portions.

Roll each portion into a flat circle, about 1/4 inch thick.

Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and add ghee.

Cook each naan for 2-3 minutes on one side until bubbles form, then flip and cook for another 2-3 minutes until golden.

Remove from skillet and brush with additional ghee, if desired.

Sprinkle with sesame seeds and chopped coriander before serving.
