Butter Garlic Naan is a very popular flatbread. Butter Garlic Naan can be made with or without tandoor (oven). Butter Garlic Naan easily and readily available in Western countries too. Butter Garlic Naan is most familiar in the South Asian countries like India, Pakistan at in all restaurants and roadside dhabas. It does not carry any special significance, as it is merely the generic word for any kind of bread. In other parts of South Asia usually refers to a specific kind of thick flat bread. Usually it is cooked in a tandoor, from which tandoori cooking takes its name called tandoori naan. Typically, it serves hot and brush with ghee or butter. However, I made this without oven, tandoor with my favorite garlicky flavor. This version is sometimes prepared as a fast food. It can also be dipped into soups as dal, and goes well with sabjis/curry.

Notes

Use 1 tsp baking powder + ¼ tsp baking soda + ¼ cup curd and reduce half quantity of water as a substitute of yeast.

If you are a beginner then don't use nonstick tawa/Griddle, use without nonstick, so your Naan stick easily on tawa.
