Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • ¾ cup plain yogurt
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • ¼ cup water (as needed)
  • 1 cup fresh herbs (such as cilantro and parsley), finely chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • ½ teaspoon cumin powder
  • ½ teaspoon turmeric powder
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • ½ teaspoon salt (for the dip)
  • 1 cup plain yogurt (for the dip)

How to Make Herbed Naan with Spiced Yogurt Dip

  1. In a large bowl, mix together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt.
  2. Add the yogurt and olive oil to the flour mixture. Stir until combined.
  3. Add water gradually, just enough to form a soft dough. Knead for about 5 minutes until smooth.
  4. Cover the dough with a damp cloth and let it rest for 30 minutes.
  5. Meanwhile, prepare the spiced yogurt dip by combining 1 cup of plain yogurt, minced garlic, cumin, turmeric, black pepper, and ½ teaspoon of salt in a bowl. Mix well and set aside.
  6. After resting, divide the dough into 4 equal portions and roll each into a ball.
  7. On a lightly floured surface, roll out each ball into a flat oval or circle about ¼ inch thick.
  8. Preheat a skillet or griddle over medium-high heat. Once hot, cook each naan for 2-3 minutes on one side until bubbles form, then flip and cook for another 1-2 minutes until golden brown.
  9. While still warm, brush the naans with a little olive oil and sprinkle the chopped herbs over the top, pressing gently to adhere.
  10. Serve the herbed naan warm with the creamy spiced yogurt dip.

Tips for the Best Results

  • Make sure your skillet is hot enough before adding the naan for the best texture.
  • Experiment with different herbs based on your preference—mint or dill can also be great additions!
  • If you prefer a more pronounced garlic flavor, increase the amount of minced garlic in the dip.

Easy Variations

  • Add grated cheese to the naan dough for a cheesy twist.
  • Spice up the yogurt dip by adding a pinch of cayenne pepper or a splash of lemon juice.
  • For a gluten-free option, substitute all-purpose flour with gluten-free flour blend.

What to Serve With It

  • Grilled chicken or lamb skewers
  • A fresh salad with cucumbers and tomatoes
  • Spicy lentil or chickpea curry
  • Roasted vegetables with Indian spices
  • A platter of assorted dips and spreads

Storage and Reheating

Store any leftover naan in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days. For longer storage, freeze the naan in a sealed bag. To reheat, warm in a skillet for a few minutes or wrap in foil and heat in the oven at 350°F until warmed through.
