1

Take 2 cups of all-purpose flour in a mixing bowl.

2

Add 1/2 teaspoon baking powder, 1/2 teaspoon baking soda, 1 tablespoon sugar, and 1/2 teaspoon salt to the flour.

3

Mix the dry ingredients well.

4

Add 2 tablespoons of oil and 4 tablespoons of yogurt to the mixture.

5

Knead the dough, adding water as needed until it is soft but not too tight.

6

Cover the dough with oil and let it rest for 3-4 hours.

7

After resting, prepare the stuffing by mashing 2 boiled potatoes and mixing with 200 grams of paneer, 2 chopped onions, 1 finely chopped green chili, and fresh cilantro.

8

Add 1/2 teaspoon kalonji, 1/2 teaspoon amchur powder, 1/2 teaspoon garam masala, 1 teaspoon salt, 1 teaspoon coriander powder, and 1 teaspoon red chili powder to the mixture and mix well.

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

Roll out each ball into a flat disc, leaving space for stuffing.

11

Place a spoonful of the stuffing in the center and fold the edges over the filling, sealing tightly.

Roll out the stuffed ball gently to flatten it.

Heat a tawa (griddle) and place the naan on it, cooking until bubbles form.

14

Flip the naan and cook the other side until done, ensuring it is well-cooked on both sides.
