Ingredients
Instructions
-
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.
-
In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour and salt. Add the frothy yeast mixture, yogurt, and melted ghee. Mix until a dough forms.
-
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.
-
In a separate bowl, mix together the crumbled paneer, cumin seeds, garam masala, turmeric powder, red chili powder, and chopped cilantro. Set aside.
-
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.
-
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.
-
Gently roll out each stuffed ball into a larger circle, about 6-7 inches in diameter.
-
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.
-
Brush the cooked naans with melted ghee or butter before serving. Enjoy the Paneer Stuffed Naan warm with your favorite curry or chutney.
