Mastering a recipe asks for relentless and passionate practice. And, I did the same while making Butter Garlic Naan. I made naan in an electric oven, I made it in a pressure cooker too. But after making it on a griddle, on tawa that is, which is turned upside down, no other method charms me anymore. I have found my trick.
Now, any day, anytime, my Butter Garlic Naan comes out wonderfully soft and chewy with the perfect brown spots on the surface.
Moreover, no yeast mixture is used for making it yet naturally turns double in size. Not too mention how well cooked naan with minced garlic, melted butter tastes. Lip-smacking, indeed!
What is Butter Garlic Naan?
It is an exotic Garlic Naan Recipe that is made using all-purpose flour, butter and chopped garlic. Though it is usually made in a furnace, you can prepare it easily on a cast iron tawa or iron skillet.

Mark my words as preparing Butter Garlic Naan is not at all tedious. Meticulously follow my step by step recipe to make the same. You would surely learn to make the best ones then! If you want then you may also add wheat flour when you roll naans. Probably, you may use warm water to knead the dough for this naan. But, I like using milk as it makes softer Naan.
