Butter Naan Recipe | How to Make Naan (Tawa Naan)

Easy Restaurant style Butter Naan recipe (Tandoori Naan on tawa recipe) without yeast at home with step by step. Butter Naan (Tawa Naan) is a very popular Indian flatbread recipe. Traditionally Butter Naan made in tandoor (round clay oven). However, tandoor is not handy at home so this recipe made on Iron tawa/griddle.

Soft textured and delicious naan made with all-purpose flour. You can make naan on iron tawa using it upside down or otherwise you can also cook naan in tandoor or cooker by sticking it side or bake them in the oven, but never use nonstick tawa as it slips while reversing. But I prefer to use iron tawa as my attached photo in recipe.

Furthermore, some tips and suggestions for perfect Butter Naan Recipe. Firstly, the key to a perfectly soft and chewy texture is by kneading it properly for at least 15-20 minutes. Basically the more you knead it to smooth dough, the butter naan would be softer. Secondly, once the dough is kneaded, then placed in a warm place for proper fermentation. Optionally you can also keep it in a preheated oven if you are living in a cold climate area.

Generally, naan should be eaten hot. As once it cools down, then it becomes dense, hard while chewing. Generally, the restaurant’s Naan becomes like that. But not in this recipe, the naan remains soft even when they become warm or cool down. It’s not become chewy.
