Directions

Prepare the yeast & Filling

Duration icon2 minutes (plus resting time)

 

  • Warm the milk in a pan until it's hand-hot. Add sugar and yeast, then let it sit for a few minutes.
  • While the milk heats, wilt the kale in a bit of oil until tender, stirring to remove any excess liquid. Then, add chili, ginger, and garam masala, stirring for another minute. Finally, add the paneer and season generously.

Prepare the dough

Duration icon5 minutes

Combine the remaining sugar, flour, and salt in a bowl. Pour in the yeast mixture, yogurt, water, nigella seeds, and 4 tbsp oil, then mix until a dough forms. Allow the dough to rise in an oiled bowl, covered, for about an hour or until it doubles in size.

Shape the dough and put the filling

Duration icon5 minutes

Divide the dough into small balls. Roll out each ball into a circle about 1/2 cm thick. Place 1/8 of the kale mixture in the center of each circle and spread it out slightly. Bring the edges of the dough together and seal them. Flip the naan over and roll it out evenly.

Cook & Serve

Duration icon10 minutes

Heat a large frying pan over high heat. Place a naan in the pan and cook until the top starts to puff and the underside browns. Flip it over and brown the other side. Brush with butter or ghee and sprinkle with nigella seeds.
