Ingredients

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• ½ teaspoon salt
• ¾ cup plain yogurt
• 1 tablespoon water (more if needed)
• 2 medium potatoes (about 1 pound), peeled and cubed
• 1 tablespoon butter
• 1 teaspoon cumin seeds
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• ¼ teaspoon turmeric powder
• ¼ teaspoon red chili powder (adjust to taste)
• ¼ cup fresh cilantro, chopped
• Extra butter or ghee for brushing

How to Make Stuffed Naan with Spiced Potato Filling

1. Start by boiling the potatoes in salted water until fork-tender, about 15-20 minutes. Drain and let cool slightly.
2. In a mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt. Mix well.
3. Add the yogurt and water to the flour mixture. Knead until a soft dough forms. If the dough is too sticky, add a little more flour. Cover and let it rest for 30 minutes.
4. While the dough is resting, prepare the filling. In a skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the cumin seeds and let them sizzle for a few seconds.
5. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant. Add the boiled potatoes, turmeric, red chili powder, and salt to taste. Mash the mixture until smooth and well-combined.
6. Stir in the chopped cilantro and set aside to cool.
7. Once the dough has rested, divide it into 6 equal portions. Roll each portion into a ball.
8. On a lightly floured surface, roll out one ball into a circle about 6 inches in diameter. Place 2 tablespoons of the potato filling in the center.
9. Carefully fold the edges of the dough over the filling to seal it. Gently flatten it with your hands.
10. Roll out the stuffed dough ball into a flat circle again, being careful not to let the filling escape.
11. Heat a skillet or tawa over medium-high heat. Cook the naan for about 2-3 minutes on one side until bubbles form and it turns golden brown.
12. Flip and brush with melted butter or ghee. Cook for another 2-3 minutes until golden and cooked through. Repeat with the remaining dough and filling.

Tips for the Best Results

• Make sure your dough is soft but not sticky; this ensures the naan is tender.
• Let the filling cool before stuffing to prevent the dough from becoming too warm and sticky.
• Use a hot skillet to get those lovely charred spots on your naan.

Easy Variations

• Add cheese to the potato filling for a gooey twist.
• Swap out potatoes for other vegetables like spinach or paneer for different flavors.
• Spice it up with green chilies or garam masala in the filling.

What to Serve With It

• Your favorite curry dish, like butter chicken or paneer tikka masala.
• A side of cooling yogurt sauce or raita.
• Fresh salad or pickles to balance the flavors.
