Method:

For Dough-
1. Mix all the dry ingredients together and knead the dough with the help of yoghurt.
2.If the dough gets kneaded properly no need of adding water but if the dough has not formed soft then add some water and knead well.

3. Do not knead so much to make it become chewy; after it has been kneaded together keep in covered with a wet cloth for 2-3 hours.
4. After 2-3 hours the size of the dough must almost double.

5. Now take the dough on a flat surface and with the help of dusting of maida punch out the extra air from the dough.
6. Divide the dough into 6 portions and keep aside.

For Garlic Mind Spread-
1. Take all the ingredients together and mix them properly and divide them in six.

Let's Prepare Naan-
1. Take a portion of the dough, flatten it on the platform with the help of belan.
2. When the dough has been flatted to the size of naan that you want to prepare, spread a portion of garlic-mint-coriander mixture to its surface evenly.
3. Now, flatten the naan from this side by pressing the mixture on the naan's surface so that it sticks to it properly.

4. Flip the flattened naan to the other side and apply some water to it. Meanwhile keep the tava on flame to get heated up nicely.
5. Place the naan's wet surface on tava in such a way that it sticks to the tava nicely.
6. Allow the naan to get cooked on a medium heat from the wet side.

7. Now hold the tava with it's handle and flip it over the direct flame so the other side (which has garlic-mint coating on it) gets cooked and this process makes the naan spongy, fluffy, tasty and easily detachable from the tava.
8. Keep a regular watch on the naan while performing the above step so that it does not get burnt or does not fall on the flame.
9. As it is done apply butter/desi ghee on it from both the sides for a rich experience and enjoy.
