Naan At Last

I once tried making naans without yeast !!! Dont ask me why i even tried it..

It came out like a cheap cake :-( ...

I found this recipe in Asha's blog which in turn is from Paati's en veetu samayal....

The Naan turned out like Naan and i liked it a lot ...

2) Add salt , parsley , butter , yogurt , oil and mix slightly.

3) Add bread flour and knead to a soft dough.
