Notes

  • Before stuffing in naan, make sure the keema is dry otherwise it may break the naan or the naan become soggy after baking.
  • Too much stuffing can break the naan. 
  • Naan dough should be well settled. Resting time should be around 2 hours and more. Overnight can bring the best result.
  • Always place naan to bake in preheated oven.
  • Apply butter or ghee after baking as it will make the naan more soft and chewy for a long time. 
  • Follow the baking time otherwise, the naan will be hard.
