Cooking Tips

• Make sure to knead the dough well to develop gluten, which gives the naan its soft texture.
• Resting the dough allows it to relax and makes it easier to roll out.
• You can add additional flavors like chopped herbs or spices to the dough for variation.
• If you don't have a tawa or skillet, you can also cook the naan on a preheated baking stone or in a hot oven.

Storage and Serving

• Garlic Naan is best served fresh and hot.
• If you have leftovers, you can store them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days.
• To reheat, you can warm the naan in a skillet or oven until heated through.
• Serve Garlic Naan as a side dish with curries, kebabs, or use it as a base for wraps and sandwiches.
