Naan recipe with step by step photos. Today I have a rustic, absolutely addictive and delicious dhaba style naan recipe with two toppings.

naan recipe

I have previously shared a restaurant style butter naan recipe, feather light and so delicious naan recipe. This dhaba style naan recipe was given to me by a friend, she has been making this for years and she vouches for this naan recipe. Once I tried, I also vouch for this naan recipe :). Thick, crispy and crusty yet soft, charred all over, this flat bread smeared with butter is all you need when you crave for something different and special from everyday food.

What makes this naan recipe different from others is that these are more thick, charred and crispy at the edges, while very soft and fluffy in the center. Salted butter is smeared all over just before serving. Crushed kasuri methi or cilantro leaves are added on one side of the naan and cooked well, the toppings also get a bit charred and that adds to the taste and also lends a smoky flavor.

To make naan recipe, use good quality all purpose flour/maida. Old flour may not give desired results. Next make sure that the yeast you use is o good quality and not very old to make fluffy soft naan. To get crispy edges, the rolled naan should be cooked on high flame on a tava then the other side should be cooked on direct flame till dark chars appear. Apply butter just before serving the naan. You can even bake the naan at high temperature (220c), if you have an electric tandoor or grill you can make naan recipe in that too. You can make naan recipe with wheat flour or combination of both maida and wheat too.

Serve naan with any rich gravy like peas masala, palak paneer, sweet corn curry, cauliflower masala etc.
