Step-by-Step Instructions
- Collect ingredients: all-purpose flour, paneer, onion, coriander, butter, baking soda, baking powder, milk, yogurt, sugar, black pepper, and salt.
- In a mixing bowl, combine flour, baking soda, baking powder, sugar, and salt. Add yogurt and milk, mix into dough, and knead 5-7 minutes until smooth.
- Cover dough with damp cloth and rest for 1 hour.
- Meanwhile, prepare filling by mixing crumbled paneer, finely chopped onion, coriander, black pepper, and salt.
- Divide rested dough into equal portions and form balls.
- Flatten each ball, add paneer filling in center, fold edges to seal, and gently flatten again.
- Roll each stuffed ball into naan shape, keeping thickness sufficient to prevent filling spillage.
- Heat skillet or tandoor over medium heat.
- Cook naan 2-3 minutes per side until golden brown spots appear.
