Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting
  • 3/4 cup full-fat cottage cheese
  • 3/4 tsp baking powder
  • 1/4 tsp baking soda
  • 1/4 tsp fine sea salt
  • 3 tbsp warm water
  • 2 tbsp melted butter or ghee (optional)
  • Fresh cilantro and minced garlic, for topping (optional)

Method
 

  1. Whisk the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a large bowl. Add the cottage cheese and warm water, then stir until a shaggy dough forms.
  2. Knead on a floured surface for 1 to 2 minutes until smooth. Return to the bowl, cover, and rest for 5 minutes.
  3. Divide the dough into 4 pieces and roll each into a 1/4-inch oval.
  4. Heat a dry skillet over medium-high heat. Cook each naan for 2 to 3 minutes per side until bubbly and charred in spots. Brush with melted butter and add toppings while hot. Serve right away.

Notes

Make sure the skillet is hot enough for a drop of water to sizzle and evaporate on contact. If the first naan does not puff, let the pan heat for another minute before adding the next one.
