This naan recipe doesn’t call for yeast. The garlic naan has been made without any oven still it has the texture as that of a naan prepared in tandoor. Naan is one thing I love to make at home. Because often at the restaurants, the naan is quite chewy and if the food is ordered, by the time naan reaches home, it has lost its texture. So, it is better to know how to make naan at home? Garlic naan can be served with dal tadka, malai kofta, butter paneer masala, etc.
