  • Spiced Chili Cheddar Naan: Sharp cheddar, red chili flakes, and smoked paprika melded in dough
  • Sweet Rose Cardamom Naan: Rosewater and crushed cardamom with powdered sugar and pistachio garnish
  • Dough Base: Traditional yogurt and yeast-leavened naan dough, soft and pillowy

🍴 Preparation Ritual

  1. Prepare classic naan dough by combining 3 cups all-purpose flour, 1 cup plain yogurt, 1 tsp active dry yeast, 1 tsp sugar, 1 tsp salt, and 2 tbsp warm water. Knead until soft and elastic; let rise until doubled, about 1–1.5 hours.
  2. Divide dough into three equal portions for each flavor.
  3. Garlic Herb Naan:
    Gently knead minced 3 cloves garlic and 2 tbsp chopped fresh cilantro into the first dough portion. Roll into rounds. Cook on hot skillet until puffed and golden, brushing with warm ghee and sprinkling extra cilantro.
  4. Spiced Chili Cheddar Naan:
    Incorporate 1 cup shredded sharp cheddar, 1 tsp red chili flakes, and ½ tsp smoked paprika into the second dough portion. Roll out, cook on skillet until cheese melts and naan crisps slightly.
  5. Sweet Rose Cardamom Naan:
    Fold 1 tsp rosewater and 1 tsp ground cardamom into the third dough portion. Cook on skillet until golden, then dust with powdered sugar and sprinkle with crushed pistachios.
  6. Serve the trio warm, arranged to showcase their distinct colors and aromas.
