Finely chop 2 onions and mix with chopped chili, 1/4 teaspoon chili powder, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1 teaspoon onion seeds.

Divide the dough into portions, aiming for 6 regular-sized naans.

Press the dough flat and place the onion mixture on top, pressing it in.

Heat a flat pan on medium heat and cook the naan onion side down for a couple of minutes until the onions get color.

Flip the naan and cook for another couple of minutes, checking for doneness by eye.

Finish with ghee or butter before serving.
