Ingredients

Instructions

  1. In a small bowl, combine the warm water, sugar, and active dry yeast. Let it sit for 5-10 minutes until the mixture becomes frothy.

  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour and salt. Add the frothy yeast mixture, yogurt, and melted ghee. Mix until a dough forms.

  3. Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 5-7 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic. Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a kitchen towel, and let it rise in a warm place for about an hour, or until it doubles in size.

  4. In a separate bowl, mix together the crumbled paneer, cumin seeds, garam masala, turmeric powder, red chili powder, and chopped cilantro. Set aside.

  5. Once the dough has risen, punch it down and divide it into equal-sized balls. Roll out each ball into a small circle, about 4-5 inches in diameter.

  6. Place a spoonful of the paneer mixture in the center of each circle. Fold the sides of the dough over the filling, pinching the edges to seal.

  7. Gently roll out each stuffed ball into a larger circle, about 6-7 inches in diameter.

  8. Heat a skillet or griddle over medium heat. Place the stuffed naan on the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and slightly puffed.

  9. Brush the cooked naans with melted ghee or butter before serving. Enjoy the Paneer Stuffed Naan warm with your favorite curry or chutney.
