Ingredients

  • •2 cups all-purpose flour
  • •1/2 teaspoon salt
  • •1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • •1 tablespoon plain yogurt
  • •1 tablespoon vegetable oil
  • •1/2 cup warm water
  • •1/2 cup shredded coconut
  • •1/4 cup chopped almonds
  • •2 tablespoons ground cardamom
  • •2 tablespoons melted ghee or butter
  • •1 teaspoon sugar

Directions

  1. 1Mix flour, salt, and baking powder in a bowl, then add yogurt and oil. Gradually add warm water while kneading until a soft dough forms. Let rest for 20 minutes.
  2. 2Combine shredded coconut, chopped almonds, cardamom, and sugar in a bowl to make the filling.
  3. 3Divide dough into 4 equal portions and roll each into a ball.
  4. 4Flatten one ball slightly, add 2 tablespoons of filling in the center, fold edges inward and seal.
  5. 5Gently roll the filled dough into a thin round naan disc, about 1/4 inch thick.
  6. 6Heat a cast iron skillet or tawa over medium-high heat until very hot.
  7. 7Place naan on the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes until golden spots appear, then flip and cook the other side for 2 minutes.
  8. 8Brush cooked naan with melted ghee and serve hot with curry or as desired.

💡 Finely chop the nuts and raisins so the Peshwari filling spreads evenly and does not puncture the naan while rolling.
