We present a straightforward recipe that allows you to prepare Chili Cheese Naan, filled with gooey cheese and boasting a crispy exterior, right on your stovetop. The flavor and texture will surely impress your guests.
Ingredients Needed for Chili Cheese Naan
For the dough: 2 cups of flour, half a cup of yogurt, 1 teaspoon of sugar, salt to taste, half a teaspoon of baking powder, and 2 tablespoons of oil.
For the filling: 1 cup of grated cheese (mozzarella or processed), 2-3 finely chopped green chilies, chopped coriander leaves, and chili flakes to taste.
For cooking: Ghee or butter.
Steps to Prepare Chili Cheese Naan
The key to a perfect naan lies in its soft and fluffy dough. Start by mixing flour, sugar, salt, and baking powder in a large bowl. Incorporate yogurt and oil, mixing well. Gradually add lukewarm water to create a soft dough that isn't too firm. Cover the dough with a damp cloth and let it rest in a warm area for at least an hour to ferment.
How to Cook Fluffy Naan on the Stovetop?
After an hour, your dough should have risen. Gently knead it again. Take a portion of the dough and roll it out to the size of a roti. Place the cheese, green chilies, coriander leaves, and chili flakes in the center. Seal the edges securely and roll it out gently, ensuring it’s not too thin.
The crucial step is to cook the naan on the pan. Wet one side of the naan and place that side on a hot griddle. Once it starts to brown, flip the griddle upside down and cook it directly over the flame until it turns golden. This method allows the naan to puff up beautifully, mimicking the restaurant-style finish.
Serving Suggestions:
Once the naan is golden and puffed on both sides, take it off the griddle. Generously brush it with butter or ghee. Serve your hot Chili Cheese Naan alongside dal makhani, chole, or any of your preferred vegetables.
