Palak Garlic Butter Naan

Naan and Tandoori Roti is something I make quite often. Just that its easy and looks restaurant style and also a break from the regular chapatis.

As I was scrolling my post on Instagram I came across this really interesting recipe of Palak Naan, courtesy i_got_hangryy. It seemed quite unique and not something that I had made before. So, I created a small twist to it by smearing dollops of garlic butter and sprinkling kalonji over it…. and I had this whole new recipe, “Palak Garlic Butter Naan”. Its unique, super easy, healthy and delicious. What more do you want???????? Am in love with this !!!!!!

You just have to mix all the ingredients, let it rest for a few minutes and roll it into round or oval and cook it on a tawa….that’s how easy it is. Well, smearing it with garlic butter or just butter or neither is totally up to you.

I highly recommend cooking the naan on a cast iron tawa, as they taste so much better and also when you flip the tawa to char the roti it will fall off the tawa if its a non stick and moreover it will not give the naan kinda look to it.

Try making this “Palak Garlic Butter Naan” and it might just become your family favorite. And when you do make it just click a picture, upload it on Instagram and tag @tinas_kitchendiaries.

Enjoy!!!!
