Preheat oven to 500 degree F (260 degree C) and move the oven rack to the top second shelf. Assemble: all the ingredients maida, soda water, baking soda, curd, salt and oil.

Knead the dough by adding the ingredients one by one.

Once the dough is formed allow it to sit for 30 minutes. It will rise up. Divide the dough in equal parts and shape them into balls.

Take a dough ball, roll it in dry flour and using a rolling pin start rolling the dough out.

If making a plain naan just brush it with butter and place it on the oven rack and broil it.

If making a Kalonji naan – First apply butter on the naan and then sprinkle kalonji seeds and chopped cilantro on top of it and press them down. Place it on the oven rack and broil it. Sprinkle generously as some of the kalonji seeds will be lost while flipping them in the oven.

FOR GARLIC NAAN- Mix 1 teaspoon of grated garlic in 3 teaspoon of melted butter and add salt to it. Mix it well. To make garlic naan – brush this mixture on top of the naan and place it on the oven rack and broil it.

Depending on the oven heat Naan will be ready in 6-7 minutes but for some it may take longer. Keep a close eye and once naan starts to brown up on the top- that’s a message that it will be ready in less than a minute.

Flip them over and cook them for another minute and they are ready. Apply some butter on them and enjoy with meal.

Different types of Naan - Garlic naan, Kalonji naan and Plain naan.
